Iced Gingerbread Cookies - Twelve Days of Christmas - Day # 8

[@kelleydavis100]

I’m thinking you need to go ahead and do 24 days of Christmas instead of 12. No one wants this to end!! 😢❤

[@cynthiahassenger5781]

😅

[@sharonholmes2470]

I so agree! 😋 😋 😋

[@debradurso524]

Agree!

[@janinehering1242]

I 1000% agree with that.

[@debbielovins4970]

I agree do. Vote on everyone let's all agree

[@bowed305]

Aaaah, only four more days of these. Not ready for them to end, but I fully intend to enjoy these as long as they last, as I have enjoyed this one and the seven before it. Thank you!

[@kmhealed]

Agree with you! I thought the same thing when I saw it was already #8!

[@missbuckeye]

I am really enjoying these Twelve Days of Christmas! Thank you for this extra holiday cheer!! ☺💜🎄

[@kmhealed]

I love seeing Melissa reach over and lock the mixer! 😀

[@GardeningLady]

Me too lol. I always say "Melissa, you need to lock the mixer." So funny.

[@beverlyspringer5368]

I think that we need 12 more days of treats! So far I’m making 4-5 of them!

[@dianes9416]

You make it so easy to follow so no excuses not to make. This has been so much fun to learn some different holiday treats . Thank you

[@robin9926]

Oh i hate that we're coming to the end. I could watch y'all all day and these recipes look delicious. I can't wait to try them.

[@marshawallace7522]

I just baked these on 1/4/2025 because we are still holding another Christmas gathering with family in late January and I wanted to test them out. OH MY, this recipe is a KEEPER...and I haven't even made the Royal Icing yet! I am so thankful that I found your channel...and my husband is too. 😊 Melissa is right, they are delicious without the icing.

[@babawawa1953]

Just love your videos. You explain everything so clearly. Thank you so much.

[@rosedwight804]

This has been so much fun to watch. I have sent all ur recipes to my Granddaughter in CA. Hoping she will make a present for each of her teachers. BTW. A side benefit to cookie making has been how dear u 2 r to each other.

[@humansomewhat2167]

Love seeing these pop up in my feed everyday, thank you! I love all of the timeless classics you are sharing.

[@Tracy-eo3iz]

Made them today… turned out great! Wishing we could extend the videos of Christmas goodies but understand you need time with friends and family to celebrate. Merry Christmas Tom and Melissa!

[@lonaphillips9617]

You are a much neater chef than most ladies! Amazing!

[@ja_Iam]

Thanks T&M. For Another Awesome Addition. Gingerbread is one of my absolute favorites. I can’t wait to make these.

[@WendyMartin-s7b]

I didn't have anything but the dark vanilla extract, so I used instead a peppermint extract, which was white, so it had a peppermint taste, everyone enjoyed them, wasn't bad with the gingerbread taste. Thanks for sharing the recipe Tom and Melissa!

[@lceec7012]

I love Gingerbread cookies, bread, coffee.. all things ginger flavored! The cookies were lovely. Reminded me of days gone by..my favorite childhood memory was of sitting with my dad eating ginger snaps out of a brown paper bag and drinking sugared milked down coffee. I felt so grown up. I sure miss my dad. Thanks for another special memory. I love this series.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

You've really touched my heart with this memory of your dad. What a sweet, sweet story. Thanks so much for sharing that with us. We are so happy to have you watching our channel. Have a wonderful day and a very Merry Christmas.

[@johnarnold7006]

Tim and Melissa I love your videos and have made several items that you have generously uploaded. Your recipe is missing the part about the flour and spices. For those looking for the recipe with those steps included I've made a version of my own. Iced Gingerbread Cookies 1 stick butter, room temperature 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed 1 egg, room temperature 1/4 cup dark molasses 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoon ginger 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt • Preheat oven to 350°. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Set aside. • Cream the butter, sugar, and light brown sugar in a large bowl. • Mix in the egg and molasses on a medium speed until combined. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed to make sure it is blended well. • Once blended well, slowly scoop in flour mixture. Scrape sides and bottom again and blend until completely combined. • Use a cookie scoop and scoop the dough into approximately 12 cookie dough balls. Flatten the balls slightly. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes or until the cookies seem set in the center. Allow the cookies to cool completely before icing. Royal Icing 2 egg whites 3 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Beat egg whites until frothy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until the sugar is combined with the egg whites. Pipe or spread onto completely cooled cookies.

[@beaandmaddy6623]

He did mention the flour and spices.

[@johnarnold7006]

@beaandmaddy6623 yeah I know. But it wasn't in the description box. So if someone just wanted to copy and paste, this makes it easier for people

[@jeanrobison851]

Those cookies look absolutely delicious. Thanks for Sharing.

I made this delicious recipe yesterday and 'OH MY' I have a new favorite cookie❣️ I doubled the cookie recipe but I tried the single Royal Icing recipe and had enough for all my cookies. I used the Pampered Chef medium cookie scoop b/c I am making several other types of cookies during the holidays. Thanks so much Tom and Melissa.

[@houndjog]

Me too! It's a good recipe! I came back to make them again!

[@cathysteenson9591]

I love all the treats you’ve made so far! Here’s a little hint for getting molasses, well any sticky liquid out of the measuring cup: spray the inside of the cup with nonstick spray or rub a little oil in there before you add the molasses or honey or whatever. Can’t wait to see what’s next! We have a cookie baking day coming up in a week!

[@annettesanchez7062]

This looks great 👍 yummy yummy 😊

[@sueperry6776]

I really enjoy your cooking videos. I love ginger cookies. Looking at the recipe in the description you left out adding the flour. It doesn't really affect me cooking these cookies but someone might want to print this out and they will need the correct directions. Love watching you and Melissa. Y'all are both thorough and very sweet.

[@patriciakalisak4300]

I can’t wait to make this recipe!

[@susangerardo-stewart3276]

I so enjoy your presentations! I can only imagine your educational classes. If only I'd had an opportunity to experience such classes.

I'm watching this on the 4th so I had to go and check this out to make sure that I wasn't missing a few days in my calendar brain! I'm glad you guys are skipping ahead that gives you a chance for days when it might not work as well and you may not have time! You guys I love your channel!

I love this video and want to make them for my co-workers. Am curious as to where you got the small individual bags to package them. Great video. Thank you for all y’all do.

[@kellybeverly3601]

Great recipe. Love them without icing. Tip for you. Swipe the inside of the cup with veg oil before you pour honey or molasses. It'll come right out without sticking and doesn't change the flavor.
