Recipe:
Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter softened (113g)
½ cup light or dark brown sugar, tightly packed (100g)
½ cup unsulphured molasses (120ml) (I use Grandma's brand)
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¾ cups all purpose flour (315g)
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
For Icing:
3 cups powdered sugar sifted (375g)
2-4 Tablespoons milk
2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative candies and sprinkles as desired
Instructions
00:00 Introduction
For Gingerbread Men:
00:23 Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, combine butter and sugar and beat until well-creamed.
00:41 Add molasses and beat until combined (mixture may look piece-y, this is OK).
01:01 Stir in egg and vanilla extract.
01:27 In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.
01:59 With mixer on low speed, gradually add dry ingredients to wet until completely combined.
02:18 Scrape dough roughly into a ball (it will be sticky, use a spatula), wrap completely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
03:17 Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 375F (175C).
03:37 Generously flour a clean surface and lightly flour the dough as well (see note).
03:45 Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to ¼” thickness, and use a cookie cutter (my cookie cutter for these was about 3.5” long) to cut out shapes. 0 Transfer to a parchment paper lined cookie sheet (or an ungreased cookie sheet), transfer to 375F oven, and bake for 8-10 minutes.
05:04 Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for at least 5 minutes then transfer to cooling rack to cool completely before decorating.
Once cookies have cooled, prepare frosting and decorate.

05:13 Combine sugar, 2 Tablespoons of milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl and stir until combined. If frosting is too thick, add more milk, about a teaspoon at a time, until the frosting is thick but pipeable. If you accidentally add too much milk, add powdered sugar until desired texture is reached.
06:57 Transfer to a piping bag with a piping tip (I used Wilton #5), or place in a Ziploc bag and snip a small piece of the corner off (not as neat, but this will still work, just take care that the frosting isn’t so thick that it breaks open the seam of the bag when you are squeezing).
07:17 Pipe frosting on cookies and decorate with decorative candies, if desired.
07:51 Allow frosting to harden before enjoying (this took only about 30 minutes for me, but may take longer if your frosting is wetter)
Keep uneaten cookies sealed in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
Flour
Don't be afraid to add flour as needed. Generously dust your surface so the cookies don't stick, and if the dough still seems sticky while rolling dust the dough and rolling pin with additional flour as needed. This is a softer dough by nature but it should not be so sticky that it isn't manageable.

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

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!

Incredibly Tasty!!! 1800's Grasmere Gingerbread Recipe - Glen And Friends Cooking
Incredibly Tasty!!! ???? 1800's Grasmere Gingerbread Recipe
This recipe was invented around 1854 in the village of Grasmere England by Sarah Nelson. You can still buy gingerbread made to this gingerbread recipe; at the same place by the same family for over 165 years. Now the recipe I'm making... may not be the original; but it tastes fantastic none-the-less. Interestingly... after the tasting, Julie kept saying I've had this before, and sure enough she found deep in a box of mementos from a trip to England with her Mom, a wrapper from Sarah Nelson's Grasmere Gingerbread shop. Julie had been there and thought they were so good she kept the wrapper!
Ingredients
225g (350 mL) all purpose flour
2 mL (½ tsp) baking soda
2 mL (½ tsp) cream of tartar
10 mL (2 tsp) ground ginger
175g (6oz) butter, cold cut up
175 g (200 mL) brown sugar
15 mL (1 Tbsp) golden syrup / corn syrup
Sugar for sprinkling
Method
Pre-heat oven to 170ºC (325ºF).
Butter a 20 cm (8 inch) sandwich (cake) tin.
Place the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cream of tartar, ground ginger and butter in a food processor.
Pulse until it resembles fine crumbs.
Transfer to a bowl and mix in the brown sugar.
Add the golden syrup and stir into the mixture with a knife.
Press the mixture in the tin, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Leave to cool in the tin for 15 - 20 minutes, then cut into wedges.

MODERN RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Cup (330) Honey
- 1/2 Loaf (250g) Dry White Bread or Bread Crumbs
- 1 tablespoon Dried Ginger
- 3/4 tsp Long Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Sandalwood
- 1/4 Cup (50g) or less Sugar. Enough for sprinkling
- Several Whole Cloves
- Gold Leaf (Optional)
METHOD
1. Pour the honey into a saucepan and set over medium heat until boiling. Add the bread crumbs, but only enough to have the mixture come together. This could be considerably less that the full 250g depending on the dryness of the bread. Mix until homogenous.
2. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the ginger, long pepper and sandalwood. Then turn it out onto a piece of parchment and roll out to desired thickness. Cover and let cool for several hours or overnight.
3. Once cool, sprinkle sugar on top and cut into whatever shape you like. Garnish with whole cloves (removing them before eating; they will add flavor) and gold.
