Gingerbread Man Cookies
Gingerbread man cookies are one of the most popular Christmas cookies that will look beautiful on any Christmas cake tray.
Ingredients
- 350 g all-purpose flour
- 140 g butter (room temperature)
- 170 g molasses sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp baking soda (spoon and leveled)
- ⅓ tsp salt
- 1,5 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- 1,5 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp bourbon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Sift the flour and add it to a bowl together with baking soda, spices, and salt. In another bowl beat the softened butter with sugar, then add honey, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture looks creamy.
- Combine dry and wet ingredients into a dough, shape it into a ball and wrap it with plastic wrap. Put the dough in the fridge for about 1 hour.
- Line baking sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper and turn on the oven at 180°C (356°F).
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to a thickness of 6-8 mm. Cut the cookies with the desired cookie cutter, and carefully transfer them to the baking sheet, making sure that there is a little space in between because they will spread a bit.
- Bake them for 10 to a maximum of 12 minutes. Make sure they don't burn. When done, take the cookies out of the oven, and put them on a cooling rack.
- Store the gingerbread cookies in a cookie tin for about 7 days.
