Como fazer Grandmother's Lebkuchen Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup molasses, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 1 large egg, and 1 cup shortening until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 4 cups all-purpose flour. Set aside.
- Add 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, 1 teaspoon anise oil, and 2 tablespoons vinegar to the creamed mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup finely chopped walnuts.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 72 hours (3 days). The longer it chills, the better the flavor!
- The dough will be firm. Keep unused dough refrigerated.
- Keep your rolling pin and work surface well-floured.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut cookies into large bar shapes using a scalloped cookie cutter.
- Lightly grease your baking sheets.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before icing.
- Ice with a simple confectioners' sugar icing: Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons softened butter, and 2-3 tablespoons milk until smooth and spreadable.
