The Perfect Recipe for Gingerbread Goodness:

🍪🎅 Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup molasses
• 1 tablespoon water

🍪🎅 Instructions:

1. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl.
2. In another bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add egg, molasses, and water. Gradually add the dry ingredients.
3. Divide the dough, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 2 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out dough and cut into desired shapes.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are slightly firm.

 

Pro Tips for Perfect Gingerbread:

• Chill the Dough: Resting the dough helps the flavors meld and prevents spreading while baking.
• Get Creative: Use different cookie cutter shapes for festive variety.
• Icing Fun: Decorate with royal icing for a delightful finish.
