  • 3 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Ginger Powder
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/2 tsp Nutmeg Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Molasses
  • 1 pic Egg
  • Vanilla Extract

  • 1 pic Egg White Pasteurization
  • 8.9 oz Confectioners Sugar
  • 0.5 oz Water

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, sift the flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt. Next, in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and light brown sugar on medium speed until it becomes fluffy. After that, add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract into the mixture, then continue to mix until all ingredients are well combined. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Following this, gradually add the sifted flour mixture into the mixer, continuing to blend until you form a consistent dough. Finally, wrap the formed dough in plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before cooking.
    3 cup All Purpose Flour, 2 tsp Ginger Powder, 2 tsp Cinnamon Powder, 1/4 tsp Baking Soda, 1/2 tsp Nutmeg Powder, 1/4 tsp Salt, 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, 1/2 cup Molasses, 1 pic Egg, Vanilla Extract
  • Combine the confectioners' sugar and pasteurized egg whites in the mixer, blending at a medium speed. Slowly introduce water into the mixture, adjusting consistency to your preference. Once achieved, transfer the icing to a piping bag and set it aside for later use.

  • Prepare two sheets of baking paper on your working place. Take a suitable amount of dough and place it between the two sheets of baking paper. Using the rolling pin, roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Refrigerate or freeze the dough for later use.
  • Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator and use cookie cutters to cut out the desired shapes. Place them on a baking sheet, cover, and return to the refrigerator to firm up for approximately 15-20 minutes. Roll out the remaining dough scraps and repeat the process with the other portion of dough.
  • Pull out the tray from the Typhur Dome, and line the bottom of the basket with a layer of aluminum foil to make it more even, which will help the cookies maintain a better shape during baking. On the top of aluminum foil, line a layer of parchment to keep cookies from sticking.
  • Carefully place the cookies in the cooking tray. Return the tray back to the Typhur Dome.
  • Select the "Roast" mode, set the temperature to 340°F, and bake for 12 minutes.
  • Remove the cookie from the tray.
  • Snip a small opening in your icing-filled piping bag. Use it to outline and embellish the surface of your cookies, or opt to decorate them with your favorite candies as per your taste.
