Butterscotch-Ginger Bread Cookies

A twist on the traditional gingerbread cookie. This recipe is sweeter, more kid-friendly, and doesn't require molasses like the traditional cookie. I found the original recipe at http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Gingerbread-Men/Detail.aspx but I have tinkered with it slightly.

Step 1 Setting Up

Time to grab and gather your ingredients and hardware.

Ingredients:
1 package (3.4 oz) butterscotch pudding (instant or cook both work, although I've only used instant)
1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter or margrine
1/2 cup +1 Tbs packed brown sugar (light or dark, doesn't matter)
1 whole egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Hardware:
Medium size bowl
Stand/ hand mixer
Sifter
Measuring cups and spoons
Large zip top bag or wax paper
Baking sheets
Cookie cutters or knife skills
Rubber Scraper
Spatula/pancake turner
Cooling racks
Non-Stick Spray
