Ingredients

• 1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated sugar cookies
• 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
• 1 package (6 oz) white chocolate baking bars, coarsely chopped
• 3/4 cup Fisher® Chef's Naturals® Chopped Pecans
• 1/3 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
• Glaze
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 to 3 1/2 teaspoons orange juice

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, break up cookie dough. Stir or knead in brown sugar, 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon, the ginger, nutmeg and orange peel until well blended. Stir in white chocolate baking bars, pecans and crystallized ginger. On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls 3 inches apart.

2. Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.

3. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon and enough orange juice for desired drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies. Let stand until glaze is set.
*To easily chop crystallized ginger, cut with kitchen scissors into small pieces.
