Description

Every time I make these wonderful cookies, the spicy aroma takes me back to my childhood. I helped Mom make them and delivered them to neighbors. —Kara Cook, Elk Ridge, Utah

I pulled this recipe last year, and didnt make it. I made it this year, and I was surprised at how good these were. Nice and moist, with an easy to work with dough. Even my daughter who hates butterscotch liked these cookies. We will make these every year

Do you have to cook the pudding on top of the stove or just add the mix straight from the box?

These turned out very good

I was wondering how butterscotch and ginger would mix, but it turned out a very nice flavor.I also worried about the stickiness of the dough because of other reviews, but I let the dough chill as directed and just laid plenty of flour out to roll it on--it was fine! Dont be afraid to lay down that flour as needed! After using about half the dough, it warmed up, so I returned it to the fridge to cool off again while I baked some other cookies. Again, used plenty of flour for rolling. It worked great.I recommend not rolling too thin. The thicker cookies tasted better and didnt crisp too much. I also thought the ones cooked on a stone came out better than the ones cooked on a metal pan. Hope that helps!Kid tested and approved--he said they were amazing.

These were good. Nice spin on traditional gingerbread cookies.

I really like the flavor of these cookies. Traditional cut out cookies often lack flavor, but that's not a problem with this recipe.

These sound good! I read this tip which might help: "Roll the dough out on parchment paper, cut out, lift unused dough from around the cookies and transfer to cookie sheet on the parchment paper. Don't used wax paper, it will burn."

Pretty good. I liked the taste.

I followed this recipe to a "t", refrigerated the dough for over an hour but when I rolled it out on a more than "lightly" floured surface, I could not get the cutouts to lift off for anything. Started over adding more flour before rolling out and no better, even tried freezing the dough for bit.... very frustrating! Ended up just throwing the whole thing away... too bad because they sounded so good!!!

These are great and you can always find cook and serve pudding on Amazon.com.
