Kid Friendly Gingerbread Cookies

December 13, 2014momstownRecipeNo comments
If you’re looking for a gingerbread cookie that is great for making with kids, look no farther! This recipe is exactly what you need.
Preparation Time:
Cooking Time: 10
Yield: 2 dozen cookies
Description:

Our Junior Chefs made these delicious and kid-friendly gingerbread cookies this past week. The gingerbread has a nice, mild flavour that both kids and mamas loved. Depending on your cookie cutter size, the recipe makes about 2-3 dozen.

Ingredients:

Cookies:
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark will work)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup fancy molasses (to prevent molasses from sticking, first spray the cup with a non-stick oil spray)
Icing:
2 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup – 3/4 cup whip cream (35%)

Cookies:

1. Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl.

2. With a standing mixer using the paddle attachment OR by hand, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.

3. Add the egg, vanilla, and molasses, beating until combined.

4. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until combined.

5. Divide the dough in half and form into 2 disks. Refrigerate in plastic wrap or parchment paper for 2 hours or overnight.

6. Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

7. On a lightly floured surface OR between 2 pieces of parchment paper, roll out one of the disks until it’s 1/4" thick all around.

8. Cut out cookies with different shapes and transfer to baking sheet.

9. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes.

10. Remove to a cooling rack. Decorate the cookies after they have cooled.

Icing:

1. Place icing sugar and 1/4 cup whip cream in bowl and stir to combine, add more cream by the tablespoon to get desired consistency.

2. Place in a ziplock bag and cut a tiny whole at one end to squeeze and draw with the icing.
