The Perfect Gingerbread Recipe
Ingredients:
3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of ground ginger
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 large egg
1/2 cup of molasses
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
To make these delicious cookies, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add in the dry mixture to the wet mixture, and mix until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to fully incorporate the ingredients. Once the dough is well combined, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
Baking and Decorating
After the dough has chilled, roll it out onto a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on a lined baking sheet.
Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Now comes the fun part – decorating! Use icing, sprinkles, and other festive decorations to make your cookies truly unique. Get creative and let your imagination run wild.
And there you have it, a delicious and easy Christmas gingerbread cookie recipe that is sure to impress. These cookies also make for great gifts, so don't forget to save some for your loved ones. Happy baking!
