Yummy christmas treats!
Step 1
Mix together flour, baking soda, and baking powder into a large bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
Put butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until fluffy. Mix in spices and salt, then eggs and molasses. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture; mix until just combined. Divide dough into thirds; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour. If you don't have a mixer mix it by hand until all lumps are gone.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to a 1/4-inch thick. Cut into snowflakes with a 7-inch snowflake-shape cookie cutter. Space 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper, and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. If you don't have parchment paper just use a pan.
Step 4
Bake cookies until crisp but not dark, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets on wire racks or on a pan.
Step 5
Put icing* in a pastry bag fitted with a small plain round tip (such as Ateco #7). Pipe designs on snowflakes; immediately sprinkle with sanding sugar. Let stand 5 minutes; tap off excess sugar. Let icing set completely at room temperature, about 1 hour.
Step 6
Enjoy your gingerbread snowflake cookies
*To make the icing, beat the whites until stiff but not dry. Add sugar, lemon juice and glycerin (if using); beat for 1 more minute. If icing is too thick, add more eggs whites and if it's too thin, add more sugar.
