Festive and adorable ginger elf cookies, topped with Betty Crocker® icing for Christmas.
Ingredients:
  • 1 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 pouch (7 oz) Betty Crocker™ Cookie Icing chocolate icing
  • 1 pouch (7 oz) Betty Crocker™ Cookie Icing white icing
  • 1 pouch (7 oz) Betty Crocker™ Cookie Icing red icing
  • 13 green or red Betty Crocker™ Fruit Roll-Ups® [from 2 (5-oz boxes)], unwrapped
  • 52 mini brown candy-coated milk chocolate candies (from 12-oz bag)
  • 52 mini red and green candy-coated milk chocolate candies (from 12-oz bag)
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a medium bowl; set aside. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy using an electric mixer. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until combined. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms.
  • Spoon dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing each mound 2 inches apart. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks. Let cool completely before adding decorations.
  • For Decorating Cookies: - Use chocolate icing to pipe the hair. - Pipe two small dollops for eyes using white icing; place 1 brown milk chocolate candy on each dollop. - Add a pea-sized dot for the nose using red icing; place on 1 red milk chocolate candy. - Pipe on the ears and mouth. - For the hats, vertically cut fruit snacks in half into rectangles. - Fold each rectangle in half to create squares, then fold the squares in half diagonally to make triangles. - Roll up one edge of each triangle slightly to form the hat brim. - Adjust the hat to fit the cookie if needed by gently pulling and stretching. - Fold the hat tip downward at an angle to meet the brim (refer to the photo). - Pipe a small dot where the tip of the hat meets the brim using white icing; place 1 red milk chocolate candy on the dot. - Allow the frosting to set. - Store the decorated cookies in an airtight container with waxed paper between layers.
