Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup(s) butter, softened
2/3 cup(s) packed brown sugar
2/3 cup(s) light corn syrup
1/3 cup(s) honey
1 teaspoon(s) grated lemon peel
4 1/2 cup(s) all purpose flour
1 teaspoon(s) salt
1 teaspoon(s) baking soda
1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
FOR THE FROSTING
1 1/2 cup(s) powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoon(s) water
- colored sugar, optional

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add corn syrup, honey and lemon peel. Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
  • Divide dough into fourths. On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into desired shapes with floured 2-in. cookie cutters. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • For frosting, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and enough water to achieve desired consistency. Spread over cookies. Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired.
