I haven’t scrolled through every comment so this info may be posted already. Just in case it will help anyone, here are the conversions I calculated: 1.5 cups sugar 1.25 + 2 Tbsp butter 1.25 cups molasses 7.25 cups flour 175C = 347F (The spices, eggs and bicarbonate measurements are already compatible.)

[@sarahsciba360]

Oops! For the butter, that’s 1.25 *cups* + 2 Tbsp.

[@DennisShaffner]

Luckily I have an old apothecary scale

[@llern3]

Thank you Sarah!

[@vivianpowell1732]

Thank you, Sarah. This is a big help for those of us not using the metric system. I found a recipe for gingerbread men cookies in my old Joy Of Cooking cookbooks (1964 and 2006 75th Anniversary editions) that has the same ingredients as the one Arne and Carlos are using except there's no pepper, but all the amounts are for a smaller batch of the cookies. Just thought I mention this in case anyone here has the JoC cookbook and would like to note that. There have been numerous editions of the JoC published, but all of them have more or less the same gingerbread men cookie recipe.

[@suecallen2160]

Thanks. I mixed up a batch, trying to weigh everything to get metric measurement, and had to add quite a bit of flour. But as you say, it will be OK. The dough has been in the refrigerator overnight so it's "show time". And, Arne, I'll be looking for horse and moose cookie cutters because I really loved yours. For now, I'll be baking and decorating snowflakes. Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing so much joy.

[@cozyjoybunny8892]

Arne is living his best life totally authentically and unapologetically. We can all aspire to sampling each ingredient as we bake.

Couldn't agree more! 💗

[@sparklie962]

The horrified look on Arne's face when Carlos told him he'd need to use the stove 😂😂 Also: Molasses pro tip. If you put a tiny amount of neutral tasting oil in your measuring cup/spoon first the molasses will completely pour out with not a speck left behind... and egg white pro tip: try beating the egg white for a bit before putting in the sugar which will increase its volume (aka, one eggwhite really is enough :-) ) PS: super job Arne - those cookies look great - love your artistic icing job!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@mountainsno]

re your egg tip... well Arne was wondering if he needed the whisk. He wasnt too far off was he?

[@genedwards1]

I just got on Utube to repeat that same tip - grease the measuring cup before you measure out the molasses. I just use the butter which is on hand.

[@sparklie962]

@@genedwards1 Absolutely, butter works too, especially if you have it out on the counter already. Sometimes mine is in the fridge and rock hard so a bit of canola oil or similar is easier. But I've used both for sure.

I have never laughed as hard as I did watching this! Arne, you are so funny and lovable. Between your Julia Child imitation, licking the spoons, blowing into the bowl (much to Carlos’ horror) and using some “hip action” to mix the batter, I was in tears. I have heard about people who will eat a bite of butter, but have never seen anyone do it. Carlos, you told us that Arne had a sweet tooth and he really does. Arne, I love how you always tie in the lovely stories of your Mother and Grandmother into whatever you are doing. Carlos, I understood you when you told Arne to be careful of your heart pan. I am the same way about my kitchen items. You two make a wonderful couple. Your personalities and sense of humor are a perfect match. And you are always kind and encouraging to one another. I don’t think you know how much joy and laughter you are bringing into our homes. I look forward to seeing you every day. Arne, your gingerbread cookies looked delicious.

[@chrisdonohoo]

Arne mentioned pasting the flour label into his "idea" scrapbook. I am curious how you access those idea books over time. . . do you have them organized anyway, or do you just pull them randomly off the shelves & browse for inspiration? Question from a retired librarian!

[@katherinefischer5747]

One of your best episodes ever. So now, lads, a few baking tips: 1) When using the stove, put the sugar in first on low heat and stir. It will turn liquid. To this add the butter until it melts down and then the molasses last. It will be much easier to deal with and you won't get the crystals (although I'm with you, Arne--who cares!); 2. To chill your dough faster, separate into four bundles and wrap each in wax paper or baking paper (we call that parchment paper in the States). The smaller portions will chill more quickly; 3. be patient with the icing and let the on egg white do its job (as I think you learned); 4. If you want to hang these on the tree (as we often do in the States), insert a toothpick into the moose or horse's head or back and work a hole so that after it bakes, you will have a hole in the cookie into which you can insert a ribbon. This was all kinds of fun. And Prym needles are the absolute best!

[@ARNECARLOS]
