Kahlua Gingerbread Cutouts Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream shortening, butter and sugar together.
  • Beat in egg until fluffy.
  • Stir in molasses and Kahlua.
  • Sift together flour, soda, salt and spices.
  • Mix well into creamed mixture.
  • Divide dough into fourths. Cover and chill 2 hours.
  • On well-floured board, roll out each portion of dough to 3/8-inch thickness, keeping the other dough refrigerated until use.
  • Cut with cookie cutters and place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake about 8 minutes.
  • Let cool 1 minute, then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  • While cookies cool, make frosting. In a large bowl, mix all frosting ingredients, except for food coloring, until smooth.
  • If you want to use different colors for your decorating, divide the frosting and tint each portion with food coloring as desired.
  • Decorate cookies using a pastry bag and decorators’ tips.
  • Or spread it on if you leave it thick, just don't break the cookies, you might have to eat the evidence!!!
  • Makes about 24 cookies depending on size of cookie cutters.

    Hmm, the Kahlua conundrum, do I add it to the frosting, or do I take a nip for me? Does a bear......? Ummm, I plead the fifth, the fifth of Kahlua!!! LOL It is easier to spread the frosting but you have to add by the droplet because if you add too much it gets syrupy too quick and will ruin that hard to roll cookie dough. Not my typical easy bar cookie and I get frustrated trying to make them look all fancy. But, a sip here and a sip there and I won't care, right?

    Great post, Notyo...but, just a quick question: Is the frosting easier to spread if IT gets some extra Kahlua, or did you mean the spreadER gets some extra Kahlua??? I know, fine point here, but one does need to know these things :)
