Gingerbread Recipe

December 14, 2017

Today I am sharing with you one of my very favorite Christmas recipes! My Perfect Gingerbread Cookies! I don’t know about you, but in my eyes, for a Gingerbread cookie to be perfect, it has to be firm, but chewy! And these cookies don’t disappoint!

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 Cup Molasses
  • 1/3 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/3 Cup Water
  • 1/8 Cup Softened Butter
  • 3 1/4 Cup Unbleached All Purpose Flour (Plus more for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Allspice
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon

Directions:

  • In a stand mixer or large bowl cream together molasses, brown sugar, water and butter on a low setting until smooth.
  • Slowly combine the remaining dry ingredients into the wet mixture.  Mix well
  • Let the dough chill either overnight or at least 3 hours.
  • Once you are ready to form your cookies preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Dust a cutting board or hard surface with flour and roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Use your favorite cookie cutters to form cookie shapes.
  • Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes
  • Let fully cool before icing if desired

This year we used a standard gingerbread man, but flipped him upside down to create little reindeer! Hallie was thrilled!

Stocking Ideas For Mom

December 11, 2017

It’s that time of year again! The time of year where I am scrambling to wrap all the presents and stuff all the stockings! It’s also the time of year when I put together a handy stocking gift guide for my main squeeze! I try to include practical things I will use throughout the year as well as a few fun additions (i.e the chocolate orange! It’s actually a tradition from when I was younger!)

Socks and Chap-stick are staples for my stocking! They are things I need new each year! Props if the Chap-stick is candy cane  flavored!

I am definitely a planner, so anything from Erin Condren will leave me swooning! (Especially the 2018 monthly stickers and Water color sticky notes!)

And how good is this Mac Lipstick color?

What’s on your list fellow mommas?
