Answer 2

These have a very old-fashioned flavor that old folks usually love. Be sure to check for any diet restrictions before just handing them out!


Iced Ginger Cookies
Makes 2½ dozen

Cookie
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup vegetable oil (preferably canola)
1 cup sugar plus 1 tablespoon (for sprinkling)
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup light unsulphured molasses

Icing
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon solid vegetable shortening
2 teaspoons water

1. Preheat over to 350 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat together the oil and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and molasses, and beat well.
4. Add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving several inches between for expansion.
5. Sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake for 12 minutes. Cool the cookies on the sheets for 5 minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. To make the icing: Combine the sugar, shortening, and water, and beat until smooth and creamy. Cover until ready to use.
7. When the cookies are completely cool, spread a very thin layer of icing on each cookie with a small knife or spatula. Let the icing set before stacking the cookies or they will stick together.

(My note: I make a double recipe of the icing. I must put on more icing than they do because I run out with the original recipe's amount. But I also don't double the vegetable shortening (Crisco) -- about the same amount and just more water and conf's sugar.)

When you serve them cookies, serve them also a hot glass of milk or tea.

Show them to dip it in then suck the cookie.
