Recipe Review

21st December 2011

BethNH from , NH

There is little more quintessentially Christmas than Gingerbread cookies.

This particular recipe starts with melted butter to which the sugar and molasses are added. This mixture, along with an egg and the dry ingredients are then mixed together. I found this made the dough come together quite nicely.

The dough sat in the fridge for a couple of hours before we rolled it out. We rolled the cookies to 1/4 inch as specified in the recipe and this made thicker than usual cookies that are chewy rather than crunchy.

The spice level is on the mild side - those who prefer gingerbread with more bite should add more cloves or allspice. The large cookies were baked in 10 minutes while the smaller ones took only 7.

I believe we've found our new gingerbread recipe.
