You’ve been asking, and so here it is: a full-blown tutorial about how to make my Cutout Cookie Gingerbread, the dough I typically use in all of my 3-D cookie construction projects! In addition to taking you through the dough-making process (which is super simple, BTW), I get a little geeky on you by sharing some food science to help you tweak your own recipes for 3-D and contoured cookie work. You’ll learn about four recipe- and process-related variables that, in my opinion, most contribute to the spreading of dough, and how to control them to minimize spreading (naturally!), cracking, and misshaping. Last but not least, I share some substitutes for the molasses and shortening in my recipe, so that, if you can’t find these items in your area, you can still make 3-D and contoured cookies with success!
IMPORTANT: I've fine-tuned my measurements in this recipe over time, especially those for the flour. The most accurate measurements are in the recipe link below, not in the video. However, the difference is relatively minor - about 2.5 ounces of flour across a large mass of dough (this recipe yields about 3 pounds 4 ounces of dough). If you are making curved 3-D cookies, the bit of extra flour (noted in the video) will only help by making your results a bit sturdier and more crack-free!

RELATED INGREDIENTS: (These links are to the products/brands that I use, though other brands should, of course, work too, provided you haven’t made any ingredient substitutions in the process. These brands are readily availble in most grocery stores in the US.)
Vegetable shortening (i.e., Crisco): tinyurl.com/l3qs467
Molasses (i.e., Grandma’s): tinyurl.com/k3zxpm7
Coconut oil (i.e., Spectrum): tinyurl.com/kc6hcxs
Honey: (i.e., Miller’s clover honey): tinyurl.com/kb3cnag
MEASURING NOTES: For the most reliable results, it is always best to weigh all ingredients. However, if you don’t own a scale, you can also measure the ingredients by volume. Just be sure to measure the flour using my scoop-and-scrape method, meaning spoon unsifted all-purpose flour into a one-cup measure, lightly tap the cup top two or three times (to remove any big voids in the cup), and then level the top with a spatula. One cup of unsifted all-purpose flour measured this way weighs about 4.5 ounces or 128 grams, though results can vary as not all one-cup measures are exactly the same size!
INGREDIENT SUBSTITUTIONS: If you can’t find shortening or molasses in your area, you can substitute coconut oil and honey (see links above), respectively, in the same quantities by weight.

Just made this recipe and very carefully measured the 5 cups flour. Dough seems super dry. It's in the fridge now, so we'll see how it firms up, but it's definitely not acting like normal dough recipes that I have to chill before rolling. Hoping to use it for the upcoming monochrome cookie challenge.

Had given up, but am looking forward to trying this recipe asap. Thank you again for sharing this with us. (Edit: I appreciate the measurements by metric weight/volume.

Hi Julie, have you tested any substitutions for the egg? Or could you suggest any possible substitutions? Also a question about the leavening, is there a different in taste? I assume the full leavening makes a nicer cookie in taste or texture otherwise there would be no benefit for using the full amount?

Hi I am from chile and we have a product that is like molasses its called "chancaca" it is also similar to "panela" that I tried in colombia recenly, it comes liquid and solid (very hard,I have to grate it or melt it with water and let it reduce until it has the texture of honey). And I also found an hydrogenated shortening (vegetable) that works great. I share this in case other people have access to this same ingredientes.I hope it helps. thanks and I just love your work

Hi of course glad to help, if I use the liquid one, the same amount of the recipe (I hace teied molasses, and the flavor is practically the sane). On the other hand the solid one , I have to disolve it and cook it until it reaches the sirope consistency. I use 450 grams of chancaca and ad 2 cups of water, and put it in the stove to reduce about half, low gas ,sometimes I use a difuser over the gas flame to prevent from burning.

Hello Julia. First- I love your work. Thank you so much for all the time and effort put into this. I pray you are super blessed as a result of your sowing seeds of wisdom into a new generation of bakers! What a precious gift to give. Ok- so now onto the problem I'm facing. I am American but live in Russia. They have different recipes here in Europe for gingerbread. I don't like it at all. They do not really reflect our American cookies that I grew up with. That being said- I can not replicate this recipe because I can not get shortening or coconut oil. They just do not exist here. I was able to substitute the molasses with dark Muscovado sugar and glucose syrup. But the shortening!!! ugh....It is so frustrating. I tried margarine but that was a disaster of spreading. My only option left is butter. We do have very high quality butter. 82.5% but maybe the ratios for other ingredients need to be adjusted. Any additional tips for adapting this? Thank you.

It probably would get it closer in color, though the dough is likely to be a lot softer if you use brown sugar for the granulated sugar and honey for the molasses. It might not behave the same way at all.

Hello Julia. I have a big problem with the dough: it is absolutely chewy, sticky. After cooling I must knead with a lot of flour so that it can be handled, it sticks to all the surfaces. My cookies are uneven on the surface. In my country there is no CRISCO, I use hydrogenated shortening, it is hard but after beating it softens a little. I also did not find ginger powder, so I used fresh ginger and I use that, and use hommemade molasses (medium density) Will one of these things make my mass so unmanageable? Please help!

I like the recipe as it is, but if you don't, then you'll have to experiment with removing spices 'til the dough tastes less spicy to you. Flavoring is very subjective, so I have to leave the answering of this question to your own taste buds. The ground spices are listed clearly in the recipe; those would be the ingredients to use in smaller quantity.

Julia, would you please please help. By following the gram measurements exactly in both the grams listed in the video (2:02 time stamp) and the gram measurements you list in the link; I get a dough that is extremely soft and it cracks. Again, this happens with both versions. Heretofore, I followed the American measurement listed in the video. I only weighed the flour making sure that I had your 5.1oz per cup). I obtained good results for the contoured baskets. Now, as I said in following both gram versions , I get a soft dough that cracks. Could the molasses gram measurement be the problem? I say this because in my glass cup measure (which I had been using), the gram weight of the molasses is 326 grams. This is the weight for it that you list in the link where less flour is used. So to recap, could the fact that I had been using 326 grams of molasses for 726 grams of flour (5.1oz x 5) be the reason that the dough was successful. I have been assigned to make your baby rattles and am distressed that I may not be able to make them successfully if I do not figure out this problem. Thank you for any advice you can give.

I'm on vacation right now and can't sift through all of this right now, but differences in ingredients and measuring cup sizes (if you're not weighing flour) can certainly make a small difference in the end result. If you got good results with the American measurements, why not just use those? Here's the link to my updated recipe as well; I have tested it lots of times and it works well for me as you can see in my videos: juliausher.com/cutout_cookie_gingerbread/ I'm really not sure how else to help unless I am there standing next to you and watching your measurement process.

I'm wondering.. What about ghee, that is clarified butter. The percentage of water should be much less in it. I'm going to do some experiments, because I definitely don't want to use hydrogenated oils (also difficult to find around here) and if I use only coconut oil it will impact the flavour, i think. I don't think it'll be that tasty.... Maybe mix ghee and coconut oil? But anyway it might be more spreadable..... 🤔

Just an fyi to my comment below in case it helps others. . Yes, It was the molasses. One glass measuring cup of Grandma's molasses is 326 grams, I redid the recipe on the video screen using 326 grams of Grandma's molasses (not the 357 grams indicated ) and using the indicated 726 grams of flour. I always use Pillsbury Unbleached. All went well. I baked approximately 15 hemispheres for the baby rattles with minimal cracking. They were also sturdy and not soft as before. This will be the version that I will use henceforth, As I recall this was the version that I used several years ago for Julia's adorable baskets and heart shaped boxes. Thank you Julia.

Glad to hear it worked out. Baking is never a science, as modest changes in ingredients and ambient conditions can make a difference. But, as a general rule, if your dough feels too soft, just gradually add flour until it handles well.

Hi Julia. Thank you for very informative videos. Where can I buy the same plastic rolling guide sticks? Amazon has mostly silicone ones, but I think those could get squeezed upon rolling. Thanks.

Thank you so much for the recipe!!! And for alternative ingredients:) And I also would like to ask Is it possible instead of molasses or honey to add Cane sugar syrup like this one www.dansukker.co.uk/uk/products/all-products/cane-sugar-syrup.aspx Is it almost the same?

Yes, I know. My website is currently under redesign; I'm surprised you're even able to get into the new site with that link. At any rate, until the new site is done (a couple of months from now), all old site links on KZbin may misdirect. We have yet to redirect old links. There's not much I can do about this until the site is done, so thanks for your patience.

Hi, I made your dough and followed grams. The dough came out too soft and looks weird. I have a lot of experience with making dough and I was making sure to not make a mistake. But something is really wrong with measurements. Please check.
@JuliaMUsher
@JuliaMUsher 2 жыл бұрын
I've checked the measurements many, many times over, and made it by weighing the ingredients countless times, as have my recipe testers. It's been used reliably for over twelve years since published in my first cookbook. So, I hate to say this, but I do believe you made an error, or perhaps you substituted ingredients. It's hard to say for sure where you went awry without watching what you did, but I am confident in my recipe.
