P rgatitja:
These fanciful treats are especially popular around the holidays.
Gingerbread cookies are not only fun to decorate and eat,
they're also great to give as gifts.
Preparation Instructions:
Estimated Time: 45min
1 In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder,
baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, clove and allspice;
set aside. Using an electric table-top or hand mixer,
blend the butter, sugar, and egg until light and fluffy.
Blend in the molasses and vanilla.
2 In three separate stages, gradually blend in
the flour mixture. Scrape the sides of the bowl using
a rubber spatula after each addition. Divide the dough
in half; wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface
until a 1/4-inch thick. When rolling, lift and
turn the dough, scattering the surface lightly
with flour, to keep the dough from sticking.
4 Cut out cookies with your cookie cutter.
Using a spatula, transfer cookies to a lightly
greased baking sheet. Space cookies about 1 1/2-inches apart.
Gently press raisins into cookies to make the eyes and buttons.
Bake the cookies until golden brown and the edges are slightly
dark, about 7-10 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.
You can also decorate the cooled cookie with Royal Icing.
