DECORATED SPICE COOKIES



Decorated Spice Cookies image

These cookies are a Christmas tradition in my household. I look forward to making them every year! I love the old-fashioned flavor. I saw a bunch of spice cookies on Zaar, but none quite like this. Cook time is if you bake about a dozen cookies at a time.

CHOCOLATE SPICE COOKIES

Believe it or not, the two cookies in this photo share the same delicious ginger-spiced dough. The main recipe will result in a patterned cookie laced with cocoa, embossed with a cookie stamp, and brushed with an orange-butter glaze; head to the variation for a simpler-but no less delicious-version that is packed with chopped semi-sweet chocolate and rolled in sanding sugar for sweet sparkle.

Time 55m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg, room temperature
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons Cointreau or strained orange juice, plus more if needed
1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Cookies: Preheat oven to 375°F. Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, ground ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. In a large bowl, beat butter with brown sugar, fresh ginger, and baking soda until creamy. Add egg; beat to combine. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture.
  • Scoop a scant 1/4 cup of dough (1.75 ounces); roll into a ball. Dust a cookie stamp with flour, tapping out excess. Place dough in center of stamp, then press evenly to cover shape of design. Place, dough-side down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and press until dough is about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Carefully remove (if it sticks, just gather up dough and start over). Repeat with remaining dough, arranging cookies 2 inches apart. Refrigerate 20 minutes; use a 2 3/4-inch round cutter to trim excess. Bake until firm to the touch, 11 to 13 minutes.
  • Glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together confectioners' sugar, Cointreau, butter, and salt; glaze should have the consistency of honey. (If too thick, whisk in more Cointreau.) Let cookies cool on sheets on a wire rack 8 minutes, then brush with glaze. Let cool completely. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.

FROSTED SPICE COOKIES

This recipe has been handed down through many generations of my husband's family. The cookies were always in his grandmother's cookie jar when he'd visit. Today, he enjoys them more than ever—and so do I. —Debbie Hurlbert, Howard, Ohio
