Gingerbread Cookies Recipe
Recipe Description:
I really wanted to make gingerbread men, so I made the dough just before we were leaving for the Holidays. I realized I was tight on time and I didn’t want to be rushed so I put it in the freezer until today! That’s one thing I love about baking — the dough can usually be made ahead of time.
This chewy cookies taste like molasses with a hint of ginger and if you are looking for a sweet treat you will be disappointed (try adding 5-10 drops stevia). I bite an arm off to start; where do you first bite a gingerbread cookie?
Recipe
Instructions:
Mix together wet ingredients: lard, butter, honey, egg, vanilla, and molasses.
In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients: flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, and cloves.
Combine the dry and wet ingredients together, shape into two discs, wrap and refrigerate at least 1 1/2 hours before rolling.
Preheat oven to 175 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll dough over a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick and cut out shapes using a gingerbread cookie cutter.
Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, or until edges are hard to touch.
