Gingerbread cookies 聖誕薑餅

Christmas Time! Christmas cookies time! Love~~~~~ Gingerbread Cookies
 
 
Cookies for my daughter's piano class.
 
 
Gingerbread cookies from allrecipes
Makes  36 servings (2 dozens)

  •   
    Directions
    Sift together the flour, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon; set aside.
    In a medium bowl, mix together the shortening, molasses, brown sugar, water, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, until they are completely absorbed. Divide dough into 3 pieces, pat down to 1 1/2 inch thickness, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
    Bake for 8-9 mins in convention oven (my oven) or 10 to 12 minutes in the normal preheated oven. When the cookies are done, they will look dry, but still be soft to the touch. Remove from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks. When cool, the cookies can be frosted with the icing of your choice.
