Ingredients

  • Ingredients:
  • 200g / 1½ Cups Plain Flour
  • Pinch of Salt
  • ¼ Teaspoon Baking/Bicarbonate Soda
  • 2-3 Teaspoons Ground Ginger
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ Teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • ¼ Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 55g / ¼ Cup Butter (Room Temperature)
  • 50g / ¼ Cup Caster/Superfine Sugar
  • 1 Egg (Room Temperature)
  • 70g / ⅓ Cup Molasses Sugar
  • To Garnish:
  • 200g / 7 oz. Green Royal Icing
  • White Icing Decorating Tubes
  • 2 Tablespoons Icing/Confectioners Sugar
  • Water

Preparation

Step 1

Sift the flour, salt, baking soda and spices into a large bowl then set aside. Line a baking tray with baking paper/greaseproof parchment.

Step 2

In another bowl, beat the butter and caster sugar together for about a minute. Add the egg and molasses sugar, and continue to mix until well combined. Slowly add the flour and spice mixture, continually beating gently until a dough is formed.

Step 3

Bring the dough together, then wrap it in cling film/saran wrap and place in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 175C/350F.

Step 4

Once chilled, kneed the cookie dough gently on a floured surface before rolling out to about ¼ Inch thick.

Step 5

Use the cookie cutters to make your shapes, and set them on the baking tray; evenly spaced and not too crowded. Chill the prepared cookie shapes for 5-10 minutes in the freezer before baking in the oven.

Step 6

Bake the cookies for 7-8 minutes, depending on their size, then remove from the oven to cool. Repeat this process as needed until all the dough is used.

Step 7

While the cookies cool, mix the two tablespoons icing/confectioners sugar with a little water to create an icing paste in a small bowl – this will act as a glue between the cookie and the green royal icing.

Step 8

Roll out the green royal icing on a surface dusted with icing/confectioners sugar to about 1cm thick. Use the cookie cutter again to create the same shapes from the green royal icing. You may need to trim the stumps of the trees off with a knife.

Step 9

Paint a little of the icing paste on to the surface of the tree shaped cookie, then carefully stick the royal icing tree on top. Use a small rolling pin to evenly distribute the royal icing, to avoid finger prints.

Step 10

Repeat the process until all the cookies are covered with a green royal icing top. Finally, use the white icing tubes to trace a delicate line around the inner edge to finish the Winter Veil Cookies.
