Servings: 12
Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 box spice cake mix
- 1/3 c oil
- 1/3 c molasses
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 3/4 c all purpose flour
- 1.5 tsp ginger ground
Instructions
- In a bowl mix together all ingredients so it creates a thick cookie dough texture.
- Put plastic wrap over the top of the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour so it is easier to roll out.
- Take out and lightly flour a cutting board and rolling pin.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll out dough so thickness is even, a bit less than 1/2" thick all the way across. (or if you want to just make balls you can roll them in some white sugar and flatten just a bit, then put on cookie sheet and bake)
- Use cookie cutters to create shapes. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet and put cookies on top with a bit of space in between them.
- Bake for 8 minutes or until edges are stiffening up and cracking. If you want them completely crunchy add an extra minute or two, 8 min. will keep middles tender.
- Allow to cool completely on baking sheet before decorating with cookie frosting.
