GINGERBREAD COOKIES

Recipe : http://www.joyofbaking.com/GingerbreadMen.html

What I did differently :

• used only 3/4 of the amount of sugar



• used double the amount of ginger powder and half the amount of cinnamon

Pastry cutters

• teddy bear - from Bake It Yourself (http://www.b-i-y.com, $4)


• man and Christmas tree - from Phoon Huat ($1 each)


• round, scalloped round, 6-pointed star - from Cuisipro (can be bought from Takashimaya)

Decorations

• icing sugar + vanillin powder + just enough water to make a thick paste - pipe squiggles and use it as a glue for the other decorations.



• "holly and berries" quins - from Bake It Yourself



• M&Ms minis - from any supermarket



• hundreds & thousands - from any supermarket

Molasses (American) = treacle (British) (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molasses for more info). I used Lyles' Black treacle (in a tin) http://www.lylesgoldensyrup.com/lylesgoldensyrup/default.htm
