Gifting your Cookies
Cookies make the perfect gift. This is because they’re usually small and portable, and can fit into any gift basket. Plus, you don’t have to worry about wrapping a cookie in a box. You can choose to give them in their original packaging.
Decorating the Cookies
Having to make gingerbread cookies is always an enjoyable part of the holiday season, but gingerbread cookies can be hard to decorate. Also, making gingerbread cookies can get very messy because of the flour and sugar.
Making the Cookie Dough
The cookie dough is very easy to make. In a small bowl, you’ll whisk together the butter and sugars until combined. Add the egg and mix until combined. Slowly add the spices until combined. Add the flour and stir until combined. Next, you’ll need to grease a cookie sheet and place the sheet on the middle rack of the oven. Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes. The cookies should still look slightly soft when they come out of the oven. Let the cookies cool completely on the cookie sheet. Once the cookies have cooled, transfer them to an airtight container. Store the cookies in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Make sure to let the cookie dough sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before rolling it out.
Filling the Cookie With a Recipe
Today I’ll be showing you how to make a whole wheat gingerbread cookie. In order to make the whole wheat gingerbread cookie, I’ll be using a combination of whole wheat flour, dark brown sugar, ground ginger, whole wheat flaxseed, cinnamon, and all purpose flour. Before we get started on the recipe, let me give you a little background on what whole wheat is and how it differs from regular flour. Whole wheat is simply whole grain, meaning that it is the whole grain that is ground into flour. It has the same nutrients as regular flour, but with a slightly different texture. The reason whole wheat flour has a slightly different texture is because it has a much larger amount of fiber and the starch in it is cooked. When you cook the starch in whole wheat flour, you change the consistency of it. Whole wheat flaxseed is a protein that comes from flaxseeds. It is sold in bags and has become a common ingredient in baked goods. Flaxseed is a type of vegetable.
