It says, "While slightly warm, frost with Quick Cream Icing (below)."<br /><br />Said recipe calls for 3/4 cup sifted confectioners sugar, 1/4 tsp. vanilla, and cream to make easy to spread. Oh, to live in 1950.<br /><br />Retreating to cry now. :(Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-81102591039833189192013-11-19T20:06:35.264-05:002013-11-19T20:06:35.264-05:00I just googled ginger creams as well and there ar...I just googled ginger creams as well and there are images of them there with frosting.

And let's be honest, wouldn't our subconscious want us to have the Tbsp cookies instead of the tsp cookies ;) <br /><br />My gramma used to be the best baker, but she's 87 now and can't do much of any cooking anymore. However, she makes stellar whoopie pies. I mean she is known for them! My grandparents had six children. Apparently when one of my uncles was in school, my gram would make whoopie pies using Tbsp and pack them in his lunch so he'd have bragging rights over the other kids who's moms made small cookies lol. I think we all want the big cookies :P<br /><br />Great post! Made me laugh :) May have to try these and let you know how they turn out!<br />HannahProject Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01996866245417584719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-69738580289436836542013-11-19T12:46:23.810-05:002013-11-19T12:46:23.810-05:00Jan, if you like ginger snaps and molasses cookies...Jan, if you like ginger snaps and molasses cookies, you'll like these.

And I think I've said before that my birthday cake every year is spice cake with buttercream frosting--my pitiful attempt to just hang on a few more months until the Christmas Ginger Creams. If you are in a cookie exchange, these can go very festive for Christmas with red and green sugar sprinkled atop the frosting (Or jimmies) and it's a very easy cookie recipe. I've never tried cream cheese frosting before, though. Maybe I'll save some from my red velvet cake to try here...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13992124840135021260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-31108225276849175962013-11-19T09:19:07.604-05:002013-11-19T09:19:07.604-05:00Julie!
