Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

ingredients
Cookies
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark molasses
2 eggs
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Glaze
2 cups confectioners sugar PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon butter (very soft)
1/4 cup orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 dash salt
directions
In a small bowl combine buttermilk and baking soda and set aside. They will foam up.
In a larger bowl combine oil, sugar, molasses and eggs and beat until well mixed (about 1 minute). Add the buttermilk mixture and blend.
Sift together dry ingredients. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Let mixture stand 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Drop batter by heaping tablespoons onto oiled cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 9 minutes until the top springs back when touched with your finger. Do not over bake. The cookies should be quite soft.
While cookies are baking combine glaze ingredients. Remove cookies to wax paper lined wire rack. Frost while warm with 1/2 tsp of glaze for each cookie. Let cool completely.
Transfer to trays and place in freezer to completely set if necessary or to freeze for storage. Once frozen, pack in tins in single layers separated by wax paper. These freeze well.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

These "cookies' taste fine but I won't be making them again. To start, they came out of the oven more like pillows not cookies, like super soft, light bread. Also, getting them off the cookie sheet was very difficult because they would tear. However, the orange glaze is terrific. Again, the taste was fine but I didn't like the texture. It was more like cake than cookie.
