Steps:
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Beat the brown sugar, molasses, melted butter and egg yolks in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture and beat, gradually increasing the speed to medium high, until the dough comes together, about 3 minutes.
- Roll out the dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper coated with cooking spray until 1/8 inch thick. Freeze until firm, 30 minutes.
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Cut out cookies using 2-inch cutters; arrange 1 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheets. Gather the scraps and chill until firm, then reroll once to cut out more cookies. Refrigerate the cutouts until firm, 20 minutes.
- Bake the cookies, switching the pans halfway through, until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
- Make the icing: Beat the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder and 3 to 4 tablespoons water in a bowl with a mixer on high speed until smooth and thick. Transfer to a resealable bag and snip a small corner. Pipe onto the cookies and sprinkle with nonpareils. Let set 30 minutes.
GINGERBREAD COOKIE CUTOUTS
Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar, molasses, oil, egg substitute, and sugar.
- In a medium bowl, stir together 3 cups flour, the baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, cloves, and salt. Gradually add to the brown sugar mixture, stirring to form a soft dough. Return the dough to the medium bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate for 2 to 12 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly spray two baking sheets with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Sprinkle the remaining flour on a flat work surface. Roll half the cookie dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Dip the edges of cookie cutters in flour, shaking off the excess. Cut out the cookies, continuing to dip the cookie cutters in flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking. Transfer the cookies to one of the baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly firm to the touch (they shouldn't brown). Transfer the baking sheets to cooling racks. Let the cookies cool slightly. Transfer the cookies to the cooling racks. When the cookies have cooled completely, store them in airtight tins for up to one week.
- COOK'S TIP ON MOLASSES
- A by-product of sugar refining, molasses is available in three grades: light (or mild), dark, and blackstrap. Light molasses is the lightest in body and color and the sweetest in taste. Many pancake and waffle syrups include light molasses, which can replace or supplement sugar or honey in some cooking. Dark molasses is more robust, thicker, less sweet, and darker in color. Its distinct flavor spices up foods such as gingerbread, gingerbread cookies, and baked beans. Light and dark molasses are interchangeable, depending on your taste preference; blackstrap molasses, however, is bitter and shouldn't be used unless your recipe specifically calls for it.

GINGERBREAD CUPCAKES WITH COOKIE CUTOUTS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line standard muffin tins with paper liners. Sift together flour and spices.
- With an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the molasses, and beat until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until each is incorporated, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture, beating until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly among lined cups, filling each three-quarters full. Bake, rotating tins halfway through, until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer tins to wire racks to cool 10 minutes; turn out cupcakes onto racks and let cool completely. Cupcakes can be stored up to 2 days at room temperature, or frozen up to 3 months, in airtight containers.
- Tint 1/4 cup icing pale pink with gel-paste food color; tint remaining icing pale blue. Transfer tinted icings to pastry bags fitted with small plain tips (#2). Pipe three blue dots on the front of each gingerbread cookie boy; pipe two pink dots on gingerbread girls.
- To finish, use an offset spatula to spread each cupcake with a smooth layer of frosting. Place a gingerbread boy or girl upright on each cupcake before serving.
