Hello my Friends and Happy Holidays!

It鈥檚 the Holiday Season and it is also Cookie Season! It ain鈥檛 the Holidays without some Gingerbread Men! These are so soft, chewy, and flavorful. I am also making Royal Icing to go on the Cookies, these are Amazing!

Gingerbread Cookies 

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1 large or jumbo egg, room temperature 
2 tbsp evaporated milk 
1 tsp vanilla extract 
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted 
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves 
1/8 tsp ground allspice
1/8 tsp ground cardamom 

Royal Icing

4 egg whites
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp freshly squeezed lime juice 
Food Coloring of your choice, optional

Cook鈥檚 Note: You may use Cream Cheese or Buttercream Frosting instead of Royal Icing. You may also decorate the cookies any way you want.

Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees 

Cream butter, cream cheese,  and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses, egg, evaporated milk, and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 4-in. gingerbread man cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on greased 9x13 inch long cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes (until edges are firm). Remove from ovento wire racks to cool completely before Frosting.

For The Icing

In a stand mixer with whip attachment or bowl using a hand mixer, beat the egg whites on high speed until foamy. Switch to low speed and gradually add the sugar into the egg whites until it's completely incorporated. Then add lime juice and beat on high speed until the icing is very thick and forms stiff peaks, Stir in Food Coloring. (If using 2 colors, separate the Icing In 2 Bowls) Ready to Decorate.
