Christmas baking, yummy gingerbread recipe from here: www.taste.com.au/recipes/18721/gingerbread+biscuits
My first miniature gingerbread house, made entirely of polymer clay. All of the mints, gum balls, candy canes, snowpeople, cookie shingles, icing icicles, licorice windows, and candy trees were hand formed and individually placed :)
House measures approximately 1 1/4" in length and 1 1/4" tall.
Spicy Gingerbread Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup molasses
2 egg yolks
2 tsp grated fresh ginger
4 1/4 cups flour (any mix of white and whole wheat you would like)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice or nutmeg
2 tsp cloves
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp finely ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
more flour for rolling out
*Combine butter and sugar and cream until fluffy and well combined. Add molasses, egg yolks and grated fresh ginger and stir until well combined. I recommend using an electric mixer.
*Stir the spices, salt and leavening with the first cup of flour with a fork. Using a wooden or metal spoon stir the flour into the molasses mix one cup at a time. You will probably need to knead the last half cup in with your hands.
*Lay the dough ball onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper and spread into a thick disk. Wrap completely in plastic wrap or put the parchment wrapped disk in a plastic bag and refrigerate for at least three hours.
*When ready to shape cookies cut or pull baseball sized hunks of dough off the disk and using flour and your hands or a rolling pin roll the dough out into 1/4 inch thick slabs. Use cookie cutters of your choice to shape the dough, place at least 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. I found that drier dough makes sharper edges on your cookies. Decorate with cinnamon candies or sprinkles before baking or icing after baking.
For icing I combined cream cheese and powdered sugar to taste (approximately 1-2 cups to 8 oz of cream cheese), with a little bit of lemon juice. It's delicious.
