Allow me to share with you a cherished recipe for Christmas Gingerbread Cookies that will surely bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones. Let’s begin this magical baking adventure together!
Ingredients (For 10-12 pieces)
- 150g all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 50g unsalted butter, softened
- 50g brown sugar
- 50g molasses
- 1 small egg
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves until well combined.
- In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the molasses and egg, and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, you can add a little more flour.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Use cookie cutters in various shapes to cut out the cookies. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
May these cookies bring you warmth, joy, and the true spirit of Christmas. Happy baking and happy holidays!
