To make these Maple Glazed Gingerbread Stars, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1-2 tbsp milk
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 soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the dough, and place the stars on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
While the cookies are baking, make the maple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, maple syrup, and milk until smooth. Once the cookies are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before drizzling the glaze over the top.
These Maple Glazed Gingerbread Stars are the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, with a soft and chewy texture that's sure to please. They're great for sharing with friends and family, and they make a beautiful addition to any holiday dessert table.
