FROSTED GINGER COOKIES - yes, they are the best!


Forcing Fall!
It's still in the high 90's here in Southern Utah! But I feel the need to start baking with apples, pumpkins, and lots of yummy spices...bring it on!

Cream together:

1 c soft butter
1 1/2 c sugar
1/2 c molasses
2 large eggs

in separate bowl whisk together:

4 c flour
1/2 t salt
2 1/4 t baking soda
2 t ginger
1 1/4 t ground cloves
1 1/4 t cinnamon

roll into 3/4 inch balls (no smooshing)

Bake @ 325 9 min. (about)

Cool and frost with cream cheese frosting:

3 oz cream cheese rm temp.
4 T soft butter
1/2 t vanilla
dash of salt
4 cups powdered sugar
Beat, beat, and beat some more. Add some milk if too thick.

Thank you Zana for this recipe... fall is now here, in my mouth!
