- My favorite gingerbread cookie recipe to celebrate the holiday season! It is so simple and absolutely delicious - It’s packed with rich flavors, perfectly soft inside and crispy outside. (You can adjust the crispiness with the baking time!) I hope you’ll feel warm and festive by watching the tutorial😊

CHRISSY
Thank you!
This looks amazing! How long does it take for that icing to dry?
Love your recipe!!! Can I use honey instead of molasses? Thanks!!
❤
Can the baked and iced cookies be frozen? (Love your work, and thank you for sharing!)
Thank you! I recommend icing the cookies after defrosting them from the freezer to avoid the icing from weeping.
❤ Muito TOP humm
Hi, thank you. I have learned so much from your channel. Can you do a Gingerbread loaf?
I’m glad!😊 Good idea!
Love your videos the visuals music your whole vibe
Can I purchase that rolling pin you’re using on Amazon?
Thank you so much!🥰 I purchased it at a baking tool store in Japan called "Cuoca" a while ago. I looked online before but I couldn't find the same one😓 I'll definitely share it if I can sometime!
Thank you Aya for all the explanation.
I am also glad for the icing recipe which is without egg whites and risk of salmonella.
However regarding the milk, how long can we keep the icing in the bag? How we store it and once on the cookies how long can we keep them?
Hi! I'm glad it was helpful.
The icing should be good for at least a week in the fridge or a few days at room temperature. - If the room is not nice and cool, I would finish icing on the day of consuming them. I hope that help!
Thank you very much for your answer...i wish you very nice holidays
Thank you for the recipe 😊. I don't have molasses can I bake without it or is there a substitute?
I’ve never tried it but it’s possible to alternate it with the same amount of brown sugar. Honey or Maple syrup has similar texture to it but I’m not sure if it works fine. I think it’s safe to use one of the other cookie recipes such as butter cookies, shortbread cookies, etc. and add spices to it. I have some to choose from!
Thanks for the idea, will give it a try.
Amazing 😍 does that icing get hard or crust?
Yes it gets hard and dried!
好美好棒好吃美味可口好好👍👍👍👍👍👍🌺❤️🌸🌹💫💐🧡💯🍬🌷💚🏆🍀👑🎄🎁
Thank you!
Please make some eggless videos. ❤
I have substituted egg for flax seed “egg” and it has worked for me 100% of the time. 1tbs flax seed meal plus 3 tbs of water. ❤
Hi, can I use dates molasses?
They look great!!!!!Can I put honey instead of molasses?and how much!??thank you!!!!
I’ve never tried it with honey, so I’m not 100% sure but I’m afraid the texture changes too much or the cookie gets too sweet. Just my guess! You may want to use a different cookie recipe (I shared my shortbread, tart crust, or butter cookie recipe!) and add the spices to be safe.
Thank you for your reply!!!keep up the sweet good work!!!!
I’m a sucker for gingerbread and I’m a chewy lass and once made unfortunately my kids don’t see a crumb lol 😂 I love gingerbread and it doesn’t have to be Christmas
Hi Aya... I've never ever done icing and would love to try your recipe...i just have one question...does your icing sugar contain corn starch/flour?
As far as I see the package, it says 100% sugar!
@@PastryLivingwithAyaI’ve been looking for an icing sugar brand that does not contain cornstarch. Could you please share what brand you used?
Could I use a hand held mixer? Also, after you cut the cookies, do you chill them again?
Yes you can! Just be careful so that the flour doesn’t scatter everywhere. You may want to switch to a spatula at the end. I always chill it but it is not a must if you are in a rush. I talked about it at the additional tips section.
Do you chill them after cutting into shapes? 2:58
If yes for how long?
I do but you don’t have to if you are in rush. I talked about it at the end of the video. I chilled just until it got firm completely.
If I don't have molasses is there anything I can substitute it for?
I’ve never tried it with honey, so I’m not 100% sure but I’m afraid the texture changes too much or the cookie gets too sweet. Just my guess! You may want to use a different cookie recipe (I shared my shortbread, tart crust, or butter cookie recipe!) and add the spices to be safe.
Thank you so much!@@PastryLivingwithAya
Thank you for the great recipe! May I ask, what brand cookie cutter you have used for the house share 🏡 and the candy cane ? They are adorable! Thank you! 🎄⭐️✨
It's Target holiday cookie cutter series! You can buy them at Target stores or online. I will add the links later if I can find!
@@PastryLivingwithAya Thank you very much! I appreciate your response! I wish you happy holidays! 🎄✨
Hi what can I substitute molasses with ? If molasses is substituted will the end product taste and look be compromised? ❤
I’ve never tried it but it’s possible to alternate it with the same amount of brown sugar. Honey or Maple syrup has similar texture to it but I’m not sure if it works fine🙏🏻 It might be safer to use one of the other cookie recipes such as butter cookies, shortbread cookies, etc. and add spices to it.
