Bake-a-boyfriend gingerbread cookies

 

Check these out, too...

  • Sneak a peek at GL's April/May 2013 issue
  • Prep for Pi Day with our top picks

  • 8 adorable Easter-y things to make this weekend

In our December/January 2011 issue, we showed you how to have an awesome handmade holiday.
 
And what well-crafted celebration could be complete without cookies? Ditch the sugar cookies for a spicier treat this year: delish gingerbread.

 

To complete our super-cute Bake-A-Boyfriend Kit featured in the magazine, download the recipe card using the links below. Since we’re totally all about the season of giving, we’ve got three designs to choose from so you can pick the perfect pattern:

 

- Rockin’ red stars ‘n’ snowflakes

- Pretty pink ornaments

- Frosted fun snowman

 

Just want the recipe? Read on, girlie!

 

Ingredients:

 

3 1/2 cups of flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

1 teaspoon of baking soda

2 teaspoons of ginger

1 teaspoon of ground cloves

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

1 teaspoon of allspice

1 cup of brown sugar, packed

½ cup softened butter

¾ molasses

1 tablespoon of vinegar

1 beaten egg

 

Directions:

 

1. Pour flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, allspice and brown sugar into a large bowl and mix well.

 

2. Add butter, molasses, vinegar and beaten egg, and mix well using your hands.

 

3. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.

 

4. Preheat the oven to 350° F.

 

5. Dust your work surface lightly with flour and roll the dough to ¼-inch thickness.

 

6. Using a cookie cutter in whatever shape you like—we recommend a boy cookie cutter—cut out your cookies and place them onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

 

7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

 

8. Let ‘em cool completely and then go crazy with the decorations!

I made these for my cheer coaches and teachers, they make perfect gifts!! I made 7, so it did take a long time(3 hours), but they came out super cute. These are great gift ideas, because instead of spending 10-20 dollars on each person you can spend only around 5.00. I also made the chocolate spoons and gave them out to the cheerleaders. You can eat them when you drink hot chocolate, and they are simply irresistable!!!!

MOD! If I half the recipe would it still be the same baking time?



Yes, it would be the same time.
