Zubereitung von Soft And Easy Gingerbread Men
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 cup packed light brown sugar using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, then stir in 1 cup unsulphured molasses and 1/2 cup applesauce until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface.
- Roll out half of the dough at a time to 1/8 inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out gingerbread men shapes.
- Transfer the cut-out cookies to ungreased baking sheets, leaving 1/2 inch between each cookie.
- Reroll the scraps and continue cutting until all the dough is used.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate your gingerbread men with frosting, candies, and sprinkles!
