Directions
Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).
In a medium bowl, beat the brown sugar and margarine until blended.
Add the egg product; beat until well blended.
Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and spices; mix well.
Divide the dough in half.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each half of dough with your hands to make two 10½-inch logs; flatten slightly to 1¼ inches in diameter.
With a spatula, place the logs 2 to 3 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Dip a non-serrated knife in water; score each log diagonally at ¾ inch intervals.
Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, or until set and no longer moist.
Cool for 1 minute. Remove from the cookie sheet; place on a wire rack.
Cool for 5 minutes. With a serrated knife, cut the logs at the scored lines.
Cool completely. Decorate each cookie with decorator icing to resemble a holly leaf and berries.
