Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa
- 2 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 3/4 c. unsalted butter
- 3/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- Royal Icing
- Gel paste food colors
- white sanding sugar
- confectioners' sugar
- Snow angel cookie templates
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just incorporated.
- Shape the dough into four 1-inch-thick disks and roll each between 2 sheets of wax paper to 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate until firm.
- Using the templates as a guide, cut the cookie dough and refrigerate until firm (chilled dough helps transfer the cookies to baking sheets). Reroll, chill, and cut the scraps. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment.
- Place the cookies on the prepared sheets. Bake, rotating the position of the pans halfway through, until the cookies are set, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, make the royal icing. Separate into bowls and tint different colors. Transfer 1/3 of each color to separate pastry bags fitted with fine tips. Use a few drops of water to thin the icing remaining in the bowls for flooding and place in separate resealable plastic bags; snip off the corners.
- Using the thicker icing, outline clothes on each cookie, then fill using the thinner flooding icing. Let dry between colors (for a sparkly finish, sprinkle with sanding sugar while the icing is wet).
- If desired, dust a platter with a thick layer of confectioners' sugar. Place decorated cookies on the sugar, pressing down and twisting to make angel shapes in the "snow."
