For this years gingerbread house I am once again taking on another engineering marvel. I need some of the cookie creation to be a light tan color, but still have the rigidity of gingerbread.
ISSUE #1 Dark Brown Sugar (a.k.a. dark evil #1)
Using light brown sugar, is the first step, but is there any way to get the light brown sugar LIGHTER in color? Can I mix it with anything else? I could just make regular gingerbread & cover it with tan icing, but how easy is that? PFFT! I want the challenge of making the entire cookie different, yet keeping it's principle properties the same. ISSUE #2 Molasses is the second "dark evil" color involved in the recipe, BUT it also gives the cookie that yummy, memory-conjuring taste. I thought about honey & Karo Syrup. Maybe not used together - Hmmm-or maybe used together. I don't know. ISSUE #3
It says I need to use butter or margarine in the recipe... Would 1 b darker than the other after baking? Is there a lighter colored substitution?
