GINGERBREAD BOYS WITH A BITE



Gingerbread Boys with a Bite image

These gingerbread men have a real bite. I found this old recipe for gingerbread men somewhere, and when I went to make them I decided to add my own personal touches! This is my own recipe and it is always a favorite at the cookie swap and at the holidays. The icing gives me the shivers because I like to add a lot of lemon juice (it goes wonderfully with the spicy gingerbread), and that is how it got its name.

Time 3h48m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup molasses
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 egg whites*
Lemon juice, to taste

Steps:

  • For the cookies:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg. Set aside. In a mixer, beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and molasses, and beat until smooth. Add the flour mixture, a little at a time, and mix until incorporated and a dough is formed. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
  • Roll dough out to 1/4-inch thick, and cut gingerbread men with cookie cutters. Transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet and bake until set, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
  • For the icing:
  • In a mixer, combine sugar, cream of tartar, and egg whites*, and beat until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Mix in the lemon juice to taste. Transfer icing to a piping bag and decorate gingerbread men.
