tastes good but a LOT OF EFFORT to decorate.. need a new idea..

I trialled these delicious cookies over Christmas and they've become my most popular!

Great fun to include the kids and remember, gingerbread men aren't just for christmas...lol!

It's hard every holiday to find stocking fillers and treats for children with multiple allergies. I usually make gingerbread shapes and stained glass window cookies for hanging on the Christmas tree but I thought I'd do something extra special with my cookies this year. Can't wait to see the kids faces when they find their giant Gingys in their Stockings!!

I use blackstrap molasses. It gives the gingerbread richer flavor. Also, for a treat, I will chop up 2 tablespoons candied ginger and use real butter.

I've always loved ginger loaf so I decided to make a homemade one and test it out against the shop brought ones. Off course the homemade loaf wins.

This cake is inspired by the amazing Chef John @foodwishes. This cake is moist, dense and fudgy. The only kinda cake which I would eat, as you should have known by now. I love the wonderful aroma of gingerbread spice, especially during final baking process. If I were to compare my previous pumpkin cake and this gingerbread cake, I would definitely go for gingerbread.What really got me is the hint of molasses aftertaste. It lingers at the back of my mouth for quite awhile which leaves me wanting for more. Pls do not use fresh grated ginger. It will overpower everything else (speaking from experience). Just use regular ground ginger. I also added a pinch of Chinese 5 spice for that oomph undertone flavor.I also decided to add a touch of lemon glaze to bring freshness to the cake. You can of cos serve the cake as it is, or you can go the extra mile and serve it with ice cream and tuile. Pls do not be intimidated by the look of it. It is actually fairly simple and easy. If all hell breaks loose, try again cos at the end of the day, it is just a kitchen fail down the bin. What you gain is experience, which is priceless. Okay, enuff of ranting and let's get started with the recipe.

My British mother-in-law taught me how to make these since Christmas was near. She said my husband used to make these with her when he was a child.In England, you can find molasses easily, but I'm not sure about Japan... It tastes just like kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup). I imagine that you can substitute it with brown cane sugar syrup in Japan.If the dough gets sticky when cutting the cookies, dust some flour on your working surface. For 20 large cookies.

This uber great twist on a gingerbread cookie is sooooooo gooooood!!!!👌👍

Another Old old family recipe, kids love this. I make fresh ginger syrup for this gingerbread. Buttered and served as cake with afternoon tea, or for breakfast, or as snacks.
