Gingerbread Cookies

It's year end soon. It is really exciting because of the coming Christmas & New Year.
This is something that I really look forward to. Gingerbread cookies is definitely suitable for this season.

It is always a challenge to make "cut out" cookies in Malaysia especially when you need to cut it into different shape e.g. stars, heart, trees....etc. The main culprit is the warm weather where make the cookies dough difficult to handle, it will become so soft & oily. Therefore, the cookies dough must rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 mins before hand. Then, roll out the cookies dough QUICKLY about 5mm, then cut it QUICKLY. Otherwise, I will need to put the dough into the fridge to rest for another 20 mins in order to make a perfect cookies.

Since I always love to make things easy & quick. I use the scone cutter to cut the cookies into round shape. It was super fast. Then, I glazed it with egg wash & run the fork on the cookies to make it a bit more sophisticated. See for yourself.
