My little guys love ginger cookies, and I have discovered a really quick way to make them!
Betty Crocker makes a Gingerbread Cake mix, and on the back of the box, there is a variation for making cookies! Add a little water, a little flour, and we are off to cookie land!
A couple things about the recipe:
If you like crisp cookies, like we do, squish them down thin with a glass, an bake them for the full time. Let them sit ont eh cookie sheet for a minte before transferring them to a wire rack.
Be sure to roll them in sugar, or they crumble easily, even if you make them the soft way.
They are addictive.
I have tried this trick with other gingerbread mixes, like Washington, and the cookies aren't as sweet. If you are into sweet ginger cookies, use the Betty Crocker mix. However, using the Washington mix rolled in sugar is a good, cheap alternative- the mix is usually about fifty cents. It only makes about a dozen cookies, though.
Need something fast and easy? Want to know if a recipe works? Have picky eaters and need ideas? Join me on my quest of finding things my kids will eat, recipes I try, and the lessons I am learning about cooking for my kids.
