Gingerbread

Holiday cookie cutters can turn your gingerbread into a festive treat.

Ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 eggs
• 4 tbs milk
• 1/2 cup light molasses
• 2 tbs dark molasses
• 2 tbs ground ginger
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking soda

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375F. Combine all the dry ingredients (except baking soda) in a large mixing bowl. Add 3 tbs of milk into a large saucepan along with the molasses (both) and butter. Melt together over low heat.

Add beaten eggs and flour mixture to the melted ingredients. Dissolve baking soda in remaining 1 tbs of milk, then add to the batter. Pour batter into a greased 10-inch baking pan. Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
