Snowflakes, candy canes, angels, stockings, little trees or stars are all fun to bake and decorate. Why stop at gingerbread men? Using a variety of holiday cookie cutters and then decorating them, the possibilities are endless.Try decorating with M&Ms, red hots or other colorful candies.I decorated with chocolate chips to go for a clean, simple look but you can use any icing and candies that you want! To decorate these cookies, I used our Royal Icing and piped the frosting on using a really small tip so I could do all the details and outlining. You can also use a cookie sheet greased well with cooking spray. Cut into shapes, then bake on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.Roll it evenly so it’s about ¼ of an inch thick. I like to use a rolling pin with adjustable rings to help achieve a consistent thickness. Take one dough ball out of the refrigerator and roll out on a lightly floured surface.The colder the dough, the easier it will be to roll out and shape with the cookie cutter. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least four hours.Only half of the dough is rolled out at once, so separating into two balls while it’s at room temperature will make it easier to roll out half of the chilled dough. Divide the dough in half making two balls and wrap them individually in plastic wrap.Mix all your dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then add to the wet ingredients a little at a time until it’s mixed thoroughly.Then, add in your egg and molasses and mix together at low speed. Make sure to use room temperature butter, and use the paddle attachment of your stand mixer on high speed to mix it until smooth.Royal Icing – This is an easy recipe that can be used to decorate all kinds of cookies!.Salt – balances out the sweetness and enhances the flavors of the cookie.
