Pennsylvania Dutch Light Ginger Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. soft margarine or butter
1 c. confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vinegar
2 1/4 c. flour
3/4 tsp. soda

Preparation

Heat oven to 400\u00b0.
Combine all ingredients in large bowl. Blend on lowest speed or by hand.
If cookies dough is too dry to handle easily, work in milk or cream, a tsp. at a time.
Chill. Roll out to 1/8 inch on lightly floured board.
Cut into shapes. Bake on ungreased baking sheet 6 to 8 minutes.
While still warm; brush thin icing (the consistency of pancake batter) on cookies with a pastry brush.
This will harden and appear transparent. Decorate if desired.
