YIELDS:25

PREP TIME:0 HOURS 10 MINS

COOK TIME:0 HOURS 0 MINS

TOTAL TIME:1 HOUR 10 MINS

INGREDIENTS

3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened

3/4 c. packed brown sugar

2/3 c. molasses

1 large egg

1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

3 1/4 c. all-purpose flour

1 tbsp. ground ginger

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

2″ piece fresh ginger, grated (optional)

Zest of 1 orange (optional)

1/2 tsp. finely ground black pepper (optional)

Sugar Cookie Icing, for decorating

Sprinkles, for decorating

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and molasses until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, spices, baking soda, and salt until combined. With the mixer on low, gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, as well as fresh ginger, orange zest, and black pepper (if using), until the dough just comes together. (Do not overmix!)
  3. Divide dough in half and create two discs. Wrap each in plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 2 to 3 hours. (Alternatively, divide dough in half and roll each piece of dough between two pieces of parchment to 1/4″ thick. Chill until firm.)
  4. Preheat oven to 350° and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface and roll until 1/4″ thick. (Alternatively, peel off both sheets of parchment from the dough, then replace one sheet of parchment back underneath the dough.) Cut out gingerbread men with a 3″ wide cutter and transfer to baking sheets.
  5. Bake until slightly puffed and set, 9 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of your cookie cutters. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  6.  Repeat with the remaining disc of dough. Decorate with icing and sprinkles as desired.

YIELDS:1

PREP TIME:0 HOURS 25 MINS

TOTAL TIME:0 HOURS 40 MINS

INGREDIENTS

1/4 tsp.cream of tartar

1/2 c.sugar

pinch of kosher salt

2 large egg whites, at room temperature

1/2 tsp. almond extract

6 drops green food coloring

1 tbsp. silver sanding sugar

4 Pull ‘n’ Peel Twizzlers

1/4 c. red candy melts, melted

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 300°. Draw circles on a piece of parchment paper to use as guides for the wreaths. Place parchment on a cookie sheet, pen lines facing down.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cream of tartar, sugar, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, whip egg whites and almond extract until mixture starts to get foamy.
  4. With the mixer on high speed, gradually add sugar mixture and continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Add green food coloring and whip until combined.
  5. Add meringue to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe onto a cookie sheet using the guides you’ve drawn. Add sprinkle decorations.
  6. Bake until almost firm to the touch, 13 to 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and let sit with the door closed for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the oven when firm to the touch, just before the edges start to brown. Let cool completely.
  7. To create the bow decoration, pull apart Twizzlers into individual strings. Trim about 3″ from each string, then shape into a bow. Use melted candy melts to help “glue” them together. Let candy melts set.
  8. Use remaining melted candy melts to adhere the bows to the wreaths and let set. Store wreaths in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

    butter and sugar together. Add egg and beat until incorporated, then add extract. Add dry ingredients and beat until just combined.

  2. Divide dough in half, keeping one half in the mixing bowl. Add red food coloring and mix until the desired color is reached. Shape each dough into a square that is roughly ½” thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  3. Place red dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a rectangle that’s about 1/4″ thick. Repeat with white dough. Take a top sheet of parchment paper off of each dough. Place red dough on top of white dough, dough sides facing each other. Gently press on top of the dough to help seal together.
  4. Remove top parchment paper and trim sides to match up evenly. Starting on a long side, use the bottom parchment paper to help roll dough tightly into a log. Roll log on the counter a few times to help seal the edge. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place sprinkles on a medium plate. Using a sharp knife, slice cookies 1/2” thick and roll edges in sprinkles. Place on baking sheets 2” apart.
  6. Bake until edges are set and just starting to turn golden, 10 minutes.
