Christmas time is in the air and nothing screams Happy Holidays louder than gingerbread cookies.
Can I just take a minute to say how much fun I had with this photo shoot. I'm getting so much better at styling my photos and using daylight (although challenging with babies) to my advantage.
Oh, and also, I discovered that I have absolutely no self control. I ate every.single.cookie. Every last one of them.

I'm so happy that I finally have an egg free gingerbread cookie recipe... and just in time for our Christmas Tree decorating party!
Do you have any cookie recipe you make every Christmas?
INGREDIENTS:
5 cups Flour
1 cup Butter
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Molasses
1/3 cup Plain Yogurt
1 tsp Baking Soda
3 tsp Ginger
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Ground Cloves
(makes about 75 small cookies)
1. Mix the dry ingredients together.
2. Add the wet ingredients and mix.
3. Roll dough and use cookie cutters to make pretty shapes.
4. Carefully place each cookie on a platter and bake at 350F for 9-10 minutes.
I have to be honest, the gingerbread cookie, in my opinion, is all about the molasses. A brown molasses will make a milder tasting cookie than a darker one.
I ended up making another 2 batches of cookies to serve at a family Christmas event and they were devoured. DE-VOU-RED. They are seriously yum.
Ohhh nice and YUMMY looking gingerbread cookies!
ReplyDeleteAlso love the fact that it's eggless which is great for
the vegan peeps out there c; Xx http://icepandora.blogspot.com
Thanks Mei! :) They definitely ARE yummy. One of the batches I cooked for less time and they came out all soft and chewy, so delicious! The other batch I baked for a bit longer and they were a bit harder, perfect for icing and decorating.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what I'm going to do when the baby is born, I love taking my pictures during daylight, it's going to be so hard for the first months. Your pictures look amazing + those cookies... yummy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Elba! You'll be fine I'm sure. The first months aren't so bad since the baby sleeps most of the time. It's when they start being awake most of the time that it gets challenging. Don't doubt how resourceful you are though, you'll figure it out, I'm not the least bit worried for you! :) How's your pregnancy going?
