- 6 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 teaspoons ground ginger
- 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon finely ground pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks or 1/2 pound) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 1 cup packed dark-brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsulfured molasses
To embellish
Royal icing
Colorful fine sanding sugars and sugar decorations
Whisk together flour, incinerating soda pop, incinerating greasepaint, spices, and swab in a large coliseum and set away. Beat adulation and brown sugar together in a large coliseum with an electric mixer until ethereal. Mix in eggs and molasses. Add flour admixture, mixing on low until just combined. Divide the dough into thirds and wrap each in plastic. Chill until cold and firm, about one hour or over two days.
Preheat the roaster to 350 degrees. Roll out dough on a smoothly floured work face to a 1/ 4- inch thick. Cut into shapes of your choice, similar to snowflakes * or gingerbread men. Spread two elevations piecemeal on incinerating wastes lined with diploma paper, and chill until the eyefuls established up again about 15 twinkles.
Singe eyefuls until crisp but not dark, 12 to 14 twinkles. Let cool on wastes on line racks.
When cool, you can embellish the eyefuls with icing and sprinkles. When you pipe designs, sprinkle the icing with grinding sugar and let it sit for five twinkles before tapping off the redundant sugar. also let the icing set fully at room temperature, which will take an hour or so, depending on how thick it is.
Store eyefuls between layers of diploma or waxed paper in a watertight vessel for over to a week.
