How to Serve Gingerbread Cookies

Video Transcript

"My name is Brandon Sarkis, on behalf of Expert Village. Today, I'm going to show you how to make gingerbread. Here's your little gingerbread man. You'll see that it's nice and brown on the edges. When you go to break him open, it's going to be fluffy, and almost kind of cake like inside. This recipe does not make a very dense gingerbread; it makes a lighter, fluffier version than what we're accustomed to. This is a really old, traditional style recipe. This doesn't make the gingerbread that 's really, really hard and crunchy. This makes the light, fluffy kind of gingerbread. The addition of the sour cream and baking powder are what give it this really light, arid, kind of fluffy thing. You can choose the icings at this point. Traditionally, they're supposed to be served straight up like this, with no icing, or minimal detail icing, if you do anything at all. Just some drizzled sugar frosting, which is just powdered sugar, milk and vanilla, goes really great on these. As a matter of fact, that's probably how I'm going to eat these myself. I'll just make some frosting, put it on there, and enjoy my little gingerbread cookies. Thanks a lot for watching my video. I hope you enjoyed watching it; I know I enjoyed making it, and I'm going to enjoy eating my cookies. Look for all my videos at Expert Village, and enjoy your gingerbread. Thanks a lot."
