Gingerbread People Pops
Gingerbread People Pops are a fun and festive treat that are perfect for the holiday season. These delicious pops are made with a combination of gingerbread spices, molasses, and flour, and are decorated with colorful icing and candy.
To make Gingerbread People Pops, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Lollipop sticks
- Icing and candy for decorating
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut out shapes, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Insert a lollipop stick into each gingerbread man, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Allow the pops to cool completely before decorating with icing and candy.
Gingerbread People Pops are a fun and festive treat that are sure to delight both kids and adults alike. These pops are crunchy on the outside, with a soft and chewy center that is bursting with warm gingerbread flavor. The colorful icing and candy decorations add a fun and playful touch to these delicious treats.
