Its that time of the year when you start making cookies and candy in preparation for the holidays. Gingerbread cookies are fun to make and can be decorated by the entire family.
2 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cubed and soften)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons gingerbread spice
1 cup brown sugar (dark)
1 egg
4 tablespoon corn syrup
1 teaspoon pie spice
Sift the flour, baking soda and spices into a medium bowl. Add the butter and rub the mixture together with your fingers until the mixture develops a bread crumb like consistency. Combine the corn syrup and egg in a separate bowl and whisk together. Add the brown sugar and egg mixture into the flour mixture, blend well to form the cookie dough. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to approximately 1/8″ to 1/4″ and cut out the gingerbread forms. Place the cutouts on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 – 10 minutes and cool on a wire rack. You can eat them as they are or mix confectioners sugar with a little water. The mixture should be a frosting like thickness. Place in a pastry bag and decorate when your cookies are completely cooled.
Enjoy
