Apple Butter Cookies

So there was an aweful lot of muffin mix left over after the mini-cupcakes.

So I mixed what was left (just less than 3 cups) with 1 1/2 cups apple butter and 4 eggs (beaten). I glopped the batter onto greased cookie sheets to make really big cookies - only about18 total. Then I baked them at 375F for 14 minutes.

After they sat 6 or 7 minutes, I mixed up lemon juice and powdered sugar to make a thin icing and painted the cookies with it before removing them to the rack to cool.

They are so yummy! And they taste very similar to the Grandessa/Contessa cookies we love from World Market. All that is needed is to add orange zest and ginger in the batter, and drizzle them with chocolate once they are cool!
