Cómo preparar Molasses Cut Out Cookies For Gingerbread Men
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add ½ cup molasses and beat until well combined. Stir in 2 tablespoons hot water.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, one cup at a time, mixing until just combined. Chill the dough for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out a small portion of dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut out a test cookie and bake for 12 minutes.
- If cookies spread too much, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour to the dough and knead until combined.
- Roll out the dough ¼ at a time, keeping the remaining dough chilled. This prevents the dough from becoming too sticky.
- Cut out gingerbread men shapes using cookie cutters.
- Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly firm. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate with confectioners' sugar frosting (piped from a ziplock bag) to create smiles, eyes, and mittens.
