#HomeFreeAlaska #Christmas #GingerBreadShow more

Merry Christmas to our wonderful YouTube family! We hope this holiday season is a blessing to you & yours. Sharing a delicious gingerbread cookie recipe with you + we got the opportunity to ride on the Alaska dog sleds! And then we're taking you along for a little tour of our off grid Alaska homestead in the winter. It truly is magical! Cheers...

GINGERBREAD COOKIES:
3 cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup dark brown sugar, packed
¾ tsp baking soda
1 TBS ground cinnamon
1 TBS ground ginger
½ tsp ground cloves
½ tsp salt
12 TBS butter, almost room temp, diced
¾ cup molasses
2-4 TBS milk

1. Add flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves & salt to a mixing bowl & mix.
2. Add butter pieces until the mixture resembles a fine meal.
3. With a mixer running low, gradually add the molasses & milk & mix until combined, about 30 seconds to a minute.
4. Divide the dough in half, forming each into a ball. If the mix is crumbly, add another TBS of milk. Wrap each in plastic wrap & refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. If you’re in a hurry, you can put them in the freezer for 20 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. Remove one ball of dough. Roll out on a clean surface to about ½ inch thick. (Flour rolling pin if needed). Cut gingerbread cookies & place them on prepared baking sheets.
7. Bake the cookies until set, about 10-12 minutes (depending on your oven). Dough should barely retain imprint of your finger when touched. DO NOT OVER BAKE!
8. Remove cookies & place on wire rack. Allow to cool completely before decorating.
