Chewy and Delicious Gingerbread Cookies
Показать описание
Gingerbread men cookies or ginger cookies are a great treat especially for the Holidays. When I was young, they were always served for Christmas. There is nothing better than that blast of ginger in a soft chewy cookie. Besides that, they look so cute.
We use five basic spices in the recipe: ground ginger, salt, ground cloves, and cinnamon. You can alter the amounts amounts according to your taste. Additional spices such as all spice or nutmeg can be added too.
If you want it a bit sweeter, more sugar can be added to the butter. Don't add too much, as it will alter the texture. Also, make sure the butter is a room temperature because it will not cream properly. The same concept applies to the molasses.
Ensure you add the flour a quarter of a time and mix. If you do not follow this process, It will hard to mix and end up with clumps of flour in the mixture.
For the dough to roll out properly, make sure it is chilled in the fridge for at least an hour. Actually, it can be left in the fridge for several days or frozen for longer periods of time.
You want the dough rolled out to about a quarter of an inch thick. If you roll it too thin, it will be too hard to cut out. The cutters can be purchase in just about any grocery or department store.
In terms of the decorating, I just use a combination of powdered sugar and milk. I slip it into a zip lock bag and cut a small hole in the tip. You can use a piping bag, but this seems to work perfectly.
You can use two or three bags and add some food colouring for decorating, as well. The decorating patterns is simply a matter of preference.
