Gingerbread Sticks Recipe
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup molasses
¼ cup water
1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) softened butter
1 cup light or dark brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1) Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
2) In a separate bowl, mix molasses and water.
3) Beat butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
4) Beat in molasses mixture, then dry ingredients to form a stiff dough, adding up to 1/4 cup extra flour if dough is sticky.
5) Quarter the dough, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm (can be refrigerated up to 1 week or frozen up to 1 month).
6) Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees.
7) Working with 1 portion of dough at a time on a heavily floured work surface, roll into a 9- by 7-inch rectangle.
8) Sprinkle dough with 1 tablespoon of sugar, and use the rolling pin to press sugar into dough.
9) Cut dough into approximately 9″ by 1/2″ sticks.
10) Place sticks about 1/2-inch apart on a parchment and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, rotating each sheet from back to front and switching rack positions after 10 minutes.
11) Transfer to a wire rack; cool to room temperature (can be stored in a tin for 2 weeks).
I come from a family who loves to bake, as both my sisters and
my mom are master bakers. I on the other hand…not so much, but
it’s one of those things I really want to change in the new year.

I put together a list of beautiful items for those bakers and bakers to be in your life.
These are all inspired by Macy’s cookware buying guide.
