Ingredients:
1 (3.5 oz) package cook and serve butterscotch pudding mix
|
1/2 cup butter
|
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
|
1 egg
|
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
|
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
|
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
|
Directions:
- In a medium bowl, cream together the dry butterscotch pudding mix, butter, and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, and cinnamon; stir into the pudding mixture. Cover, and chill dough until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease baking sheets. On a floured board, roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness, and cut into man shapes using a cookie cutter. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cookies are golden at the edges. Cool on wire racks.
Makes about 30 cookies
