Making the Dough
Gathering Ingredients
To make your gingerbread dough, you will need all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until well combined. Eggs and molasses are then added to the mixture, followed by the dry ingredients. Use a mixer or your hands to form a smooth dough.
Rolling and Cutting Out Shapes
Once your dough is ready, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ⅛ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters in various shapes, such as Christmas trees, stars, and snowflakes, to cut out your ornaments. Make sure to punch a hole at the top of each ornament before baking to later hang them on your tree.
Baking and Decorating
Baking the Ornaments
Bake the ornaments for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden. Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
Adding Personal Touches
Now comes the fun part – decorating your ornaments! Use icing to add details and sprinkles for some extra festive flair. You can also use food markers to write names or messages on your ornaments. Let your creativity run wild and make each ornament unique.
Assembling and Hanging
Gluing the Pieces Together
To give your ornaments a 3D effect, glue two identical shapes together with royal icing or melted candy melts. This will also make your ornaments more durable.
Hanging on the Tree
Once your ornaments are decorated and assembled, thread a string or ribbon through the hole and tie a knot at the top. Your gingerbread Christmas tree ornaments are now ready to be hung on your tree!
Now that you have your homemade gingerbread ornaments, why not make a batch of gingerbread cookies to go along with them? Your tree will be looking and smelling festive and delicious. Happy baking and happy holidays!
