Frosted Ginger Cookies

From Champaign, OH

<p>This is a favorite ginger cookie in our house. Most of the time when I bake these I don&#8217;t add the icing. I serve these especially on Thanksgiving and other family gatherings and offer pumpkin dip to dip the cookies. Pumpkin lovers are plentiful in this family.</p> <p>These cookies have a soft texture and the subtle blend of spices isn&#8217;t over powering. Great with a cup of tea or coffee as an afternoon snack or in the evening after dinner.</p> <p>Nutrition facts; Per Cookie 102 cal.(33% cal.from fat)0.8G protein,3.8g. fat(2.2 Sat fat, 16g.carbs(o.2g Fiber)98ml.Sodium,15MG.Chol.</p>
