The Holiday Gift of Love Blog Hop!
I love the holidays! Christmas in particular. The cooking, the shopping, the parties!
Every year I make gingerbread men and this is my favorite recipe to use --
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 t. ground ginger
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. ground allspice
1/4 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup molasses
1 T. cider vinegar
--Stir together flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, allspice, and salt. --Beat butter and brown sugar in bowl with mixer until well blended. Beat in egg, molasses, and vinegar. --blend at low speed, gradually beat in flour mix. Divide dough into four parts. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or until firm enough to handle. --Warm oven to 350 --grease baking sheets --On a lightly floured surface, roll one portion of dough at a time to 1/4 inch thickness. Dip cookie cutters in flour and cut cookies -- Bake 5-8 minutes, until edges feel firm -- cool on wire rack and store in airtight container --Decorate with icing once cooled.
I hope you enjoy the cookies.
Hugs,
Krystal Shannan

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Christmas Romance Books is The Untamable Rogue by Annette Blair! The story is about Ashford Blackburne Fifth Earl and he has to get married and get his willing bride pregnant before Christmas or his grandfather won’t let him inherit his money. Ash truly needs to inherit the money because his late father squandered it all away and he is taking care of his mother. After getting stood up at the alter, again, Ash and his friends go to the local pub where the owner plays a drunken Ash in a card game…his consolation prize is the pubs daughter Larkin, who he wants to get ride of. Ash has to learn to forgive…Larkin has to learn how to trust…can two completely different people find love together. This is a cute, extremely funny, romantic story with a surprise Christmas ending!
