Recipe

• 1 mix all dry ingredients (except powdered sugar) in large bowl. mix all wet ingredients in a small bowl, and combine with dry ingredients. note: this comes out better if you mix by hand with a wooden spoon - just until combined so you don't overwork the dough.
• 2 shape into 1 inch balls and place on baking sheet.
• 3 bake for 8-12 min at 350. cool on rack for 15-20 minute
• 4 mix milk and powdered sugar to make icing. you may need to adjust the amount of milk to get the icing to the consistency you want. i like it the consistency of molasses or a little thicker than maple syrup.
