Women's Day, Dec / Nov 1980 Gingerbread Bear cookies

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

My roommate is going through a domestic situation and he took her

recipie for Ginger Bread (Gingerbread?) Bear cookies. She has made them

for her boys for all these years. She says she can find it in a box

somewhere and on an old hard drive, but I thought I'd ask here.

 

Any ideas.

 

Thanks for all you do, yes YOU!!!

I was wondering if anyone had an archive of Women's day which included

those months?

 

Cheers

I haven't found the Women's Day archives yet, but did find these Gingerbread

Bears from Better Homes and Gardens. Is it similar?

Ingredients:

1 cup Butter or margarine

2/3 cup Packed brown sugar

2/3 cup Corn syrup, dark or light

4 cups All-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon Ground ginger

3/4 teaspoon Baking soda

1/2 teaspoon Ground cloves

1 each Egg, beaten

1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla

Miniature chocolate pieces

Royal icing for decorating

 

Directions:

In a saucepan combine butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over

medium heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Pour into a large

mixing bowl and cool 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine flour, cinnamon, ginger,

soda, and cloves.

Add egg and vanilla to butter mixture and mix well. Add the flour mixture and

beat until well mixed. Divide the dough in half. Cover and chill at least 2

hours or overnight. To make each bear shape dough into one 1 inch ball, one 3/4

inch ball, six 1/2 inch balls, and five 1/4 inch balls. On an ungreased cookie

sheet flatten the 1 inch ball to 1/2 inch thickness for body. Attach the 3/4

inch ball for head and flatten to 1/2 inch. Attach the 1/2 inch balls for arms,

legs, and ears. Arrange remaining 1/4 inch balls atop ends of arms and legs for

paws. Use chocolate pieces for eyes and navel. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 8

to 10 minutes or until done. Carefully remove and cool. If desired, pipe on bow

ties with royal icing. Makes 16.
