Ingredients
Gingerbread Dough:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 large egg
Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Food coloring (red, green, and any other desired colors)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Gingerbread Dough
To make the gingerbread dough, start by whisking together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and spices in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and egg, and mix until well combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Step 2: Roll and Cut Out the Dough
Once the dough is formed, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut out the desired number of gingerbread men for your jumper. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Step 3: Bake and Cool the Gingerbread Men
Bake the gingerbread men in a preheated 350-degree oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
Step 4: Make the Icing
While the gingerbread men are cooling, make the icing by mixing together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Add more milk if needed to achieve a spreadable consistency. Divide the icing into separate bowls and add food coloring to each one to create different colors for decorating.
Step 5: Decorate Your Jumper
Once the gingerbread men are completely cool, it's time to decorate! Use the colored icing to create designs on each gingerbread man, such as a scarf, buttons, and other festive decorations. Allow the icing to dry completely before assembling your jumper.
Step 6: Assemble Your Jumper
Lay out a large piece of parchment paper and place the gingerbread men on it, arranging them in a pattern that you like. Use a small amount of royal icing to "glue" the gingerbread men together to form your jumper. Allow the icing to dry completely before wearing or displaying your festive creation!
Conclusion
With just a few simple ingredients and some creativity, you can make a unique and delicious gingerbread Christmas jumper that is sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering. Don't be afraid to experiment with different designs and colors, and have fun with the decorating process. Happy holidays and happy baking!
