0:09
and these are really really easy to make
0:13
not quite as easy as those but they're
0:16
really easy to make the only thing
0:18
that's gonna take time is your dough's
0:19
gonna have to sit in the refrigerator
0:21
all right today I've mixed up an
0:23
all-purpose flour baking soda fresh
0:27
ground nutmeg ground cinnamon ginger
0:30
salt butter dark brown sugar eggs and
0:34
last but not least a rich molasses and
0:38
after I get all these properly folded in
0:41
together I'm gonna get in there y'all
0:43
and use my hands to form my dough into a
0:46
ball and next I'm gonna wrap him in
0:49
plastic wrap and throw him in the fridge
0:51
for about an hour so I can set up
0:53
that'll make you much much easier for us
0:55
to roll out might as well go ahead and
0:58
get my milk out while I'm in there and
1:03
this dough is is nice and chilled and
1:09
I'm just gonna break off a little piece
1:11
of it and work a little bit at the time
1:18
now you'll need some extra flour you
1:23
want to make sure that you dust your
1:25
rolling pin real good so that your dough
1:28
won't stick to your PIN
1:44
now I've got a tray of gingerbread men
1:51
already started so we're just going to
1:54
take our cookie cutter and you'll want
1:56
to make sure that you run that through
1:58
the flour so your dough won't stick to
2:04
and look at that the perfect little
2:07
gingerbread now you can put these
2:13
cookies closer together because they're
2:17
not going to rise much because we've
2:19
used an all-purpose flour all right so
2:23
we're gonna put these in the oven and
2:25
we're gonna bake these for about 10
2:27
minutes on 350 degrees now your leftover
2:32
dough you can take it and just reroll it
2:36
so we won't have almost any waste at all
2:40
so in we go hey Remy and I've got a pan
2:53
ready here and you can see how they've
2:58
hardly risen at all there's still about
3:02
the same size that they were we're gonna
3:05
come over here and decorate our
3:07
gingerbread men and women so I'm gonna
3:10
start with some powdered sugar and
3:13
you'll want to be very very careful that
3:16
you don't add too much milk
3:18
oops I'm making a mess because a little
3:22
milk and confectioner sugar goes a long
3:24
way so be very very careful during this
3:29
step and just add a little bit at the
3:32
time until you get it right because you
3:34
can always add too but you can't take it
3:36
out all right now we're gonna separate
3:47
into three different batches
3:57
all right we're gonna color one of them
3:59
green now you can use your favorite
4:03
color for your gingerbread cookies all
4:08
right and in our next Bowl
4:09
we're gonna give him some red food
4:14
coloring and we don't need a whole bunch
4:24
just gonna spoon him into the bottom of
4:31
the bag and then I'm gonna come over
4:35
here to the corner and I'm gonna put the
4:37
tiniest tiniest hole in fact I'm
4:42
probably gonna need my eyeballs for this
4:45
one because we don't want to make that
4:47
hole very big at all one more time it's
4:53
all right one more little snip all right
4:59
we're ready to decorate and the reason I
5:02

5:05

5:08
