Ingredients
- 1 vanilla cake mix box
- 1 instant vanilla pudding mix box, 4 servings
- 1/2 cup molasses fancy
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Cream Cheese Buttercream Icing
- 1 cream cheese package
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla if wanted
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all of the ingredients for the cookies in a bowl and mix until there are no lumps. This will be an arm workout!
- Grease or spray a 9x13 baking pan.
- Place the cookie dough into the pan and spread out evenly; I butter my hands slightly and flatten it out.
- Bake in the 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, until the cookie is set in the middle and the edges are crispy.
- Remove from the oven and cool completely.
- To make the icing:
- Beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy in a large mixing bowl. The paddle beater on a mixer works the best.
- Slowly add in the icing sugar and continue to beat until all the sugar is added and the mixture is smooth.
- Spread over the top of the completely cooled bars.
- Slice into square and serve!
