Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 large egg
For the Icing:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon meringue powder
2-3 tablespoons water
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and egg, and continue mixing until well combined.
Gradually add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water or sugar as needed.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, decorate them with the icing using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off.
Let the icing dry completely before storing the cookies in an airtight container. Enjoy your delicious and festive Christmas gingerbread cookies!
