Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, ginger and allspice; set aside.
In a saucepan on low heat, melt butter, and then with a spatula stir in the brown sugar, molasses, and spice mixture.
Transfer to a large bowl and let cool completely, and then beat in egg. Make sure this has cooled all the way. If not, you will scramble the egg.
Add flour mixture to molasses mixture, and combine with a spatula, and work until it forms dough. You may also use your hands if you prefer.
Divide dough in half, cover with plastic wrap and chill in fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Tovolo Winter Wonderland Cookies |
Heat oven to 350°F.
Roll out dough in between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent the dough from sticking to rolling pin.
Dip cutters into a little flour, and shake off excess. Use a small brush once you have the cut shapes on baking sheets to remove the flour.
Cut out shapes and place on baking sheets and freeze for 10 minutes so they cookies hold their shape as they bake.
Bake for 8-12 minutes until they feel firm. My cookies baked in 10 minutes.
Wait 2-3 minutes and then ransfer to wire racks to cool.
Decorate with icing and sprinkles, sugar pearls, etc...
