Are you simple and sweet or decked out with all the trimmings? Take Martha Stewart quiz and find out what type of Christmas cookie you are.I'm Molasses-Gingerbread Cookies.
Serves 48 , 48 -100 cookies
Ingredients
1 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
1/4 cup water
5 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon ginger
1 tablespoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon allspice
1. Place margarine in large mixing bowl & soften it in microwave for a few seconds.
2. Cream sugar and margarine, then add molasses and water.
3. Combine all dry ingredients. Add to the mixing bowl & mix together.
4. Let dough cool, covered, in freezer for at least an hour.
5. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
6. Roll out dough & cut out with cookie cutters.
7. If the cookies are thin, bake for 6 minutes. If they're thick, bake for 8 minutes. They will appear slightly underbaked, but that's what makes them taste so good & chewy.
8. Let them cool on wire rack.
These cookies stand on their own without frosting.
