How to buy the best gingerbread cookies?

When it comes to flavor, choosing the best cookie will always depend on your personal preferences and tastes . There are those who prefer gingerbread cookies to have that homemade spicy aroma and slightly spicy flavor; others enjoy the combination of ginger with ingredients like lemon and chocolate more. Also, some want their cookie to be smooth and caramelized, while others prefer a crunchy texture.

However, when buying it is always worth considering the following recommendations:

• Take into account the quality of the ingredients . Better ingredients = better taste.
• Whenever possible, opt for gingerbread cookies from reputable vendors and brands . If other of their products have a good reputation, then it is very likely that you are correct with your choice.
• It is advisable to buy premium quality cookies . Usually this means that its ingredients are natural, organic, GMO-free.
• Check the comments of other buyers to find out what opinion they have about the product ( another advantage of buying cookies online ).

How to make gingerbread men at home?

If you have the time and prefer to make your own homemade gingerbread cookies, take a look at this easy 6-step recipe:

Ingredients:

• 6 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon of baking powder
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup of warm butter, melted
• 1 cup molasses
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• ½ cup of water
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Sift together flour, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon; set aside for now.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the butter, molasses, brown sugar, water, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Add the dry ingredients little by little, until they are completely absorbed.

3. Divide the resulting dough into 3 pieces, roll out to 1 ½ inch thick, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

4. After that time, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the previously chilled dough on a lightly floured surface; Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut cookies with cutter ( gingerbread man shape ).

5. Now place the cookies on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving 1 inch between them.

6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. When the cookies are done they will look dry, but will still be soft to the touch. Remove them from the baking sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Once cold, they will be ready to enjoy.

How are gingerbread cookies stored?

Whether purchased or made at home, gingerbread cookies should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature ; this will help keep them cool and soft. You can store them in a cookie jar, previously placing them in a sealed bag or food-safe plastic bag. Remember that gingerbread cookies can also be frozen very well. You should only defrost them at room temperature once you want to eat them.

What is the origin of these cookies?

To talk about the origin of the typical cookies and gingerbread houses, it is necessary to refer to the origin of gingerbread. There are numerous theories on this subject, but everything seems to indicate that it originated in the Middle East, an area from where most spices, including ginger , came to the Western world. However, there are other references to gingerbread dating back to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians.

However, the invention of the gingerbread man is attributed to Queen Elizabeth I , who reigned between 1558 and 1603. Apparently, the queen used to give gingerbread cookies to all the dignitaries and important people who visited her. Interestingly, these cookies were made in the own image and likeness of those who received them.

I hope that the information in the article has been useful and that my suggestions help you to buy some gingerbread cookies that are to your liking.
