-------- ------------ --------------------------------

--Cookie Ingredients--

1 package Spice Cake Mix -- (18 1/4-ounce) or 18 oz carrot cake

mix

3/4 cup Butter -- softened

1 egg

2 tablespoons orange juice or milk

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

--Frosting Ingredients--

4 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1/3 cup Butter -- softened

2 tablespoons orange juice or milk

2 tablespoons milk -- (2 to 3)

Food color -- if desired

 

Combine half of cake mix and all remaining cookie ingredients in large mixer

bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed (2 to 3 minutes).

Add

remaining cake mix; continue beating until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Wrap in

plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours or overnight).

 

Heat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a

time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 3

to 4-inch gingerbread boy or girl cookie cutter. Arrange 2 inches apart onto

ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until set. Let stand 1

minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.

 

Combine all frosting ingredients except milk and food color in large mixer bowl.

Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often and gradually adding enough milk for

desired spreading consistency. Frost cooled cookies. Decorate as desired.

 

TIP: The holidays are the time to decorate even ordinary cookies to make them

extraordinary. For simple decorations, pipe frosting using a disposable pastry

bag and decorating tips. Start with just two tips—star and writing. They’ll

yield an endless array of cookie decorations.

 

Description:

" Cinnamon and ginger add extra punch to these easy-to-make cookies,

but you can leave the spices out for a milder flavored cookie. "
