Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Molasses cookies are an old-fashioned favorite. These oversize cookies are cakelike and tender, with the added bonus of being low in fat. Make a glaze by stirring 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons fat-free (skim) milk, 2 drops of vanilla and, if desired, 2 drops butter flavor in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over cookies.
