Anyone have an easy, simple gingerbread recipie?

Answer 1

Gingerbread is really easy to make! you need 125g butter, 60g soft dark brown sugar, 115g golden syrup, 1 egg, 40g self raising flour, 1 tblsp ground ginger, 1 tsp bicarb soda.
Preheat the oven to 180 C (Gas 4), Grease/line 2 or 3 baking trays. Whack the butter, sugar and syrup until light and creamy. Add the egg gradually, beating well after each addition.
Sift flours, ginger and bicarb onto butter mix and use a knife to mix until just combined. Then with a floury hand combine dough thouroughly, then turn onto a floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes. Roll out dough onto a chopping board til it's about 1/2cm thick and then put it in fridge for about 1/4 hour. Cut out dough shapes/people, put on trays and bake for 10 mins or til lightly browned.

Halfway between sugar cookies and gingerbread
Makes 3 to 4 dozen 2 1/2- to 3-inch cookies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick, 4 ounces) butter
1/2 cup (3 1/4 ounces) vegetable shortening
3/4 cup (6 ounces) light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar

2 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) molasses
3 cups (12 3/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) cornstarch

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the butter, shortening, sugars, baking powder, spices and salt until light and fluffy. Add the egg and molasses and beat well. Mix about half of the flour into the butter mixture. When well combined, add the cornstarch and the remaining flour.

Divide the dough in half, flattening each half slightly, and wrap well. Refrigerate for 1 hour (or longer), for easiest rolling. Shape cookies as directed in the Decorator’s Dream recipe, and bake for 10 to 12 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven.
