I stole my grans camera on Christmas and photographed the cookies i made for her. Luckily she sent me the photo, and here it is:
My delicious gingerbread cookies, decorated by yours truly and Damen (my awsome little brother whose emo is my favorite).
Here is the recipe, which i must add was fantastic: moist and crispy and wonderfully spiced.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup golden syrup
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves (which i excluded)
Directions:
Cream the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup. Stir the egg and vanilla into the mixture until smooth. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; stir into the wet mixture. Cover and chill dough for a few hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 165 degrees C. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes with a cookie cutter, and place onto a buttered cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, cookies should be firm but moist. Enjoy!!!
