I hope everyone is in the Christmas spirit because I sure am! I decided to share one of my favorite recipes for the ultimate Christmas time treat. Gingerbread Men are perfect as a gift or to leave out for Santa, Enjoy!
Ingredients:
3/4 cups light brown sugar
2 tablespoons syrup
1 tablespoon molasses
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cups un-salted butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
white icing
Directions:
On a low heat, in a saucepan, combine the light brown sugar, syrup, molasses, water, cinnamon, ginger, butter and then stir well. Then add the baking soda and make sure to keep stirring to avoid any burns at the bottom. Take pan off of heat and slowly add the flour, mixing well throughout. Mix until a ball of dough forms and leave the dough to cool for 30 minutes. After the 30 minuets is up, preheat the oven to 365 degrees Fahrenheit and spread the dough about 3 millimeters thick. Now, use your gingerbread men shapes and cut the cookies out and place them on a baking tray about one inch apart. Place them in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until nice and firm. Let the cookies cool and then it is time to decorate! Fill a squeeze bottle with white icing and create your gingerbread men. Any color icing can be used but I went for the classic white.
Enjoy xx
