Christmas gingerbread cookies recipe, a spiced flavoured cookie that is perfect to bake for this season.Fill in your house with the spicy aroma of these gingerbread cookies this  Christmas.

Few years back I made gingerbread men cookies but had this thought of making gingerbread cookies recipe with eggs and decorating them all pinky pink and call them my gingerbread girl cookies 🙂 Arent they pretty?!

I browsed many recipes, all I found was recipes made in bulk and I couldn’t scale down it because of the eggs.So I decided to form my own recipe for basic gingerbread cookies,yes it worked and kids enjoyed it so much! This is a basic gingerbread cookie recipe without any rising agents, do try and let me know how you liked it!

AuthorSharmilee J

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour*
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/8 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 no egg
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/8 tsp clove powder
  • 1/8 tsp pepper powder
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg powder

*I used wheat flour, you can use maida too.

    For the icing:

    • 1/3 cup icing sugar
    • a drop food color
    • 1 tbsp milk(it may take less only)

    Instructions

    • To a mixing bowl - add butter,honey and brown sugar.
    • Cream it well using a whisk or hand mixer. In a separate bowl add an egg.
    • Whisk it well and add it.Mix it.
    • To a siever add flour and spice powders, sieve it directly to the butter sugar egg mixture.
    • Whisk to bring together, do no knead.I switched to spatula here to bring it together to a dough.
    • Cling wrap it and refrigerate for atleast an hour.Then roll the cookie dough between 2 parchment or butter papers.
    • Using the gingerbread cookie cutter, cut out cookies.Carefully take the gingerbread cookies and place it on the baking tray lined with butter paper.Now scrap the extras and repeat the process.Preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins.Bake in preheated oven for 12-15mins or until the edges start to brown.Cool down the cookies.
    • Meanwhile we can prepare the icing. In a mixing bowl add icing sugar,food color and milk.While adding milk, add little by little.Mix well to form a smooth thickish flowing icing.
    • Prepare a cone, fill it up with icing and decorate the cookies.I used few color sprinklers too.

    Notes

    • Make sure to cool down the cookies completely before icing them.
    • I used just pink color, but the color and design is of your choice.
    • The baking time depends on the thickness of your cookie so when it starts to brown at the edges be alert.
    • I used wheat flour but you can use plain white flour too.
    • Adjust the spice powders according to your liking.
