LAY HO LAY HO (how's it going in Cantonese), or should I say HO HO HO! The holidays will hit the ground running with this tasty holiday recipe. Join me in this episode and learn how to make an easy gingerbread man cookies recipe just in time for Christmas!
Gingerbread Cookie Ingredients:
3 cups all purpose flour (525g)*
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick room temperature plantbased butter (115g)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup blackstrap molasses
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 cups brown sugar
2 tbsp coconut or almond milk
Icing Ingredients:
1 cup Organic icing sugar
1 tbsp+ coconut or almond milk
splash of vanilla
Directions:
1. Sift the dry gingerbread cookie ingredients (minus the brown sugar) into a large mixing bowl. Then, whisk to combine
2. In another mixing bowl, vigorously whisk together the wet ingredients including the brown sugar
3. Use a spatula to combine the wet and dry mixtures together to form a dough. Then, use your hands to knead the dough into a ball. It should not be sticky and should have a play-dough like texture
4. Cover and let the dough chill in the fridge for about 30min
5. Lightly flour a work surface and divide the ball into 3 portions. Roll the dough into a ball, then use a rolling pin to roll into a 1/4 inch thick sheet
6. Use your favourite cookie cutter to cut out the shapes. Then, free the cookies and carefully release them using a spatula
7. Place the cookies onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the rest of the dough (25-30 cookies)
8. Preheat the oven to 350F. Meanwhile, let the cookies chill in the fridge until the oven is preheated. Then, bake in the oven for 8-10min
9. Allow the cookies to cool for a couple of minutes, then carefully transfer them to a cooking rack. Once fully cooled, transfer the cookies into airtight containers for storage until ready to decorate
10. Make the icing by combining the icing sugar ingredients together. Add more milk if needed but the icing should feel quite thick
11. Transfer the icing to a small bag. Cut a small hole on one corner and let the decorating commence!
*in this episode, we used Bob’s Red Mill unbleached white all purpose flour which weighs a bit more. The 3 cups used in this episode weighed in at about 525g

***RECIPE, MAKES ONE LOAF ***
(Based on an old Joy of Cooking recipe)
1 cup (237 mL) milk or water
1/2 cup (118 mL) mollasses
1/2 cup (118 mL) honey
1/2 cup (one stick, 113g) butter
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 egg
2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (maybe 3/4 if using unsalted butter)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground ginger (use half if you don't want it very spicy)
a little finely-ground black pepper
Get your oven heating to 350ºF/180ºC. Prepare a 5x9 in (13x23 cm) loaf pan (or really any mid-size cake pan) by either greasing the inside or lining it with a parchment sling.
Pour the milk/water into a microwave-safe measuring jug, along with the molasses and honey. Drop in the butter in chunks. Microwave until the butter chunks are halfway melted, stir, and let them keep melting while you measure out the dry ingredients.
Put the flour in a mixing bowl along with the salt, baking powder and spices. Whisk to combine and fluff up the flour.
The butter should be melted now — put the sugar in with the wet ingredients along with the egg and stir until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and whisk until just smooth.
Pour into the cake pan and bake for about an hour until done inside. The top usually looks a hair raw when the inside is perfect.

The Perfect Gingerbread Cake - The Royal Recipe
It amazes me how some food smells bring back memories. Whenever I smell someone baking gingerbread cake now it reminds me of walking home from school and entering the house to the smell of gingerbread cake my mother was baking. Oh it takes me back. Happy memories!
This recipe makes two cakes so refrigerate the second one (up to a month) or share it with family and friends. It's super easy to make, two pans and a bowl and the most moist, delicious, fragrant gingerbread cake I think you will ever have tasted. Try it. Link to the treacle and golden syrup below (but as say in the video, you don't have to use these)

Ingredients
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup (200 g) packed light brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 cup (130 g) fancy molasses
2 1/2 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp (6 g) ground ginger
1 1/2 tsp (4 g) ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2 g) baking soda
1/4 tsp (1 g) fine sea salt
1/4 tsp (1 g) ground cloves
1/4 tsp (1 g) ground nutmeg
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
Icing sugar, for rolling
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Cream the butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl by hand for 1 minute, until lighter in colour and smooth. Beat in the egg, then the molasses.
3. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, cloves and nutmeg together. Add all at once to the butter mixture, stir until evenly blended, then stir in the granulated sugar just until combined.
4. Use a small ice cream scoop or 2 teaspoons to shape the batter into balls. Roll the balls in the icing sugar to generously coat and place them on the baking trays, 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Press down on the cookies with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly.
5. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until they have puffed up and appear set at the edges. Carefully smack the tray down on the counter to deflate the cookies (for the crackle effect). Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
