Gingerbread Snowflake Delicacies are a perfect treat for the holiday season. These delicious cookies are made with a blend of warm spices and molasses, giving them a rich and flavorful taste. The delicate snowflake shape adds a festive touch to any holiday gathering.
To make these Gingerbread Snowflake Delicacies, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a snowflake cookie cutter to cut out the shapes, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Gingerbread Snowflake Delicacies are a perfect combination of sweet and spicy, with a soft and chewy texture. They are sure to be a hit at any holiday gathering, and can be enjoyed with a cup of hot cocoa or a glass of milk.
