Make Santa festive gingerbread cookies in his likeness to munch on as he places presents under the tree on Christmas Eve.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 Cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 Cup black strap molasses
- 1 Teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 Teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 Teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 Teaspoon baking powder
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Steps
- Add butter and sugar into a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Beat in egg and molasses. Sift together dry ingredients and beat into mixture until thoroughly combined. You may have to knead in final cup of flour if mixture is too thick. Cover dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a baking sheet with a non-stick cooking spray. Roll out dough on a heavily floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out gingerbread men with cookie cutters. Place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until done. Remove cookies from oven and cool thoroughly.
- Use decorator's icing in red, white, and green to make the cookies look like Santa! Add Christmas sprinkles and candies to give his outfit some pizzazz.
