Who says gingerbread is for Christmas? I made this version fluffier and not shaped like little men with candy buttons.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups of packed dark brown sugar shopping list
- 1 cup of butter flavored shortening shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- 1/4 cup molasses shopping list
- 3 cups flour shopping list
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (fresh if ya got it) shopping list
- ****************************************** shopping list
- 1 lb (about 4 cups) confectioners sugar shopping list
- 3 tablespoons of Meringue Powder shopping list
- 6 tablespoons of warm water shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Line baking sheets with parchment or wax paper.
- With an electric mixer, cream together the sugar and shortening. Then add the eggs and molasses. In a separate bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients (except for the icing stuff, of course), and then add to the wet mixture in thirds.
- Roll dough into 1 or 2 inch balls and then smoosh down so they are about 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until they loose that wet look to them. Note: It is impossible to tell when the edges are getting brown on these. If you DO see the edges getting brown, they are overbaked and will be hard.
- While the cookies are cooling, mix the icing and put in a piping or ziploc bag. Once the cookies are totally cool, drizzle the icing or decorate as you wish.
