1 c. butter
1 c. powdered sugar, sifted
1 T. cream
1 T. lemon juice
Mix together. Then add dry ingredients:
2 1/4 c. flour
3/4 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 t. ginger
Stir together to mix well. Chill dough. Roll into balls. Put onto parchment paper and bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees until bottoms are lightly browned. May be frosted with icing.
Icing:
Melt 1/2 cube butter.
Add 3-4 cups of powdered sugar. I don't really measure, I just dump it into the bowl [same size my mom always used :)].
1 T. Karo syrup
1 teas. vanilla
Milk or cream to make the icing the consistency desired, to either spread or drizzle over the cookies. The Karo syrup keeps the frosting from sticking when the cookies are in a jar, tin, or baggie.
