Easy Decorated Gingerbread Cookie Recipe

• 1 package gingerbread cake and cookie
• mix
• 1/4 cup hot water
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine — melted
• Sugar
• 1 tub Rich & Creamy vanilla
• ready-to-spread frosting
• Miniature chocolate chips, raisins, cut-up gumdrops, colored sugar, miniature marshmallows, red cinnamon candies, shredded coconut, chocolate shot or shoestring licorice — if desired

Preparation:

Heat oven to 375º. Mix gingerbread mix, hot water, flour and butter in
medium bowl with spoon until dough forms.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Press bottom of glass into dough to grease, then dip into sugar; press on shaped dough to flatten to 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
