How To Prepare Gingerbread Cookies
Before you start making your cookies, bear in mind that you can try this recipe the way you want. If you are looking for crispy cookies that are wafer-thin, apply a pin roller. If you desire thicker cookies, they’ll finish softer on the inside with slightly less crunch. Though if you think 36 is slightly more, just use half of the entire ingredients to take the number to make 18 cookies.
Procedure
- Preheat the oven to 175 degrees.
- Make 2 oven trays by tucking them with anti-adhesive cookie sheets.
- Sift the cinnamon, baking soda, flour, ginger, and spices into a bowl.
- Next, use a different bowl and combine the butter plus the CBD Oil till you get a blended mixture. Include brown sugar and treacle and try to achieve a smooth consistency. After that, beat the eggs and combine well.
- Now take the bowl containing the flour and add the treacle and butter mix. You can use a wooden ladle or a blender and even your hands. Make a firm and hard dough and after it is smooth and fine, split the dough into 2 even parts. Roll and turn them into balls and drape them in a thin plastic film – cling film.
- Keep the dough resting inside the refrigerator for 3 hours. What about playing some Christmas games while you stick around?
- After 3 hours, take the dough out from the refrigerator and make both halves one by one. Let it warm for nearly 10 minutes for convenient handling. Sprinkle some flour and roll the dough out.
- Apply a cookie cutter to make gingerbread shapes, or you can take a sharp knife and imagine your special Christmas shapes -stars, bells, or whatever you like.

Decorating The CBD Gingerbread Cookies
Lay the cookies on the oven tray, sparing sufficient space between each other so that they can rise without coming into close contact. If there is leftover dough, just roll them together to prepare more cookies. Take the other dough ball and utilize it to occupy the other tray in the oven.
Bake the gingerbread cookies for 12 minutes, their edges should appear crispy and dark brown. Once done, take out the cookies from the oven and cool them in a tray. Then put them on a griddle so that it cools further.
Now you can decorate the cookies with glazing available at the supermarket, or using powdered sugar. You can add contours to make gingerbread women or men we all are familiar with. Make use of your every bit of creativity. If there is any leftover space in your Christmas tree, simply wrap the cookies in a string piece or a ribbon to enhance your tasty beautification. Enjoy baking and having the cookies together. Wish you a healthy, happy, and delicious Christmas!
