INGREDIENTS
1 (3.5 ounce) package cook and serve butterscotch pudding mix
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, cream together the dry butterscotch pudding mix, butter,
and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in the egg. Combine the flour, baking
soda, ginger, and cinnamon; stir into the pudding mixture. Cover, and chill
dough until firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease baking sheets. On
a floured board, roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness, and cut into
man shapes using a cookie cutter. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the
prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are golden at the edges. Cool on wire racks.
