I can never pass up any recipe with Fairy in the title so when I saw this recipe for Fairy Gingerbread in my America's Test Kitchen Christmas Cookies Magazine, I had to try it! Maybe it's the kid in me but I think if you're going to make Fairy Cookies, they must have sprinkles! There were no sprinkles called for in the America's Test Kitchen's recipe, but I thought they were lovely without any! These cookies were fabulous and full of flavor due to a couple of interesting ingredients - toasted ground ginger and grated fresh ginger. They baked up crispy and light and wonderful! To make them, you have to spread the "batter" really thin, and it helps if you have an offset spatula. Spread a thin layer of batter on your parchment paper. After baking, use a pizza wheel to score the cookies into 3"x2" rectangles, cutting off the edges for a clean look. I made some Royal Icing using this recipe, adding some pink food color. I spread some icing on each cookie then pressed it into some pretty spring colored sprinkles. I thought they looked lovely! FAIRY GINGERBREAD Adapted from America's Test Kitchen 1 1/2 tsp ground ginger 3/4 cup plus 2 tbsp flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup plus one tbsp packed light brown sugar 4 tsp grated fresh ginger 3/4 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup whole milk, room temp Adjust oven racks to upper middle and lower middle positions and heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray 2 rimless baking sheets (or inverted rimmed baking sheets) with vegetable oil spray and cover each with 15"x12" sheet of parchment paper. Heat ground ginger in small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and toasted ginger together in a medium bowl. Using stand mixer fitted with paddle, beat butter and sugar on medium high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add fresh ginger and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk in 2 additions. Using offset spatula, evenly spread 3/4 cup batter (which is 1/2 of mixture) to cover parchment on each prepared sheet (batter will be very thin.) Bake until deep golden brown, 16 to 20 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking. Using a pizza wheel, immediately score cookies into 3"x2" rectangles. Let cookies cool completely on sheets. Using tip of paring knife, separate cookies along score marks and serve. With or without sprinkles, these cookies will bring smiles to anyone who tries them! Even the Fairies agree! xo

Single level Gingerbread house template. Easy to print, and cut out gingerbread template.
::This listing is for a digital download:: Make your own Carl and Ellie miniature UP gingerbread house inspired by the Disney/ Pixar movie. If you enjoy a fun challenge- this is the project for you. All you need is a printer, some card stock, an x-acto blade and glue. This listing is for pdf instructions and plans, not a finished product. Also the balloons are optional for your project. The instructions include a "simple" paper version of the house, no tabs as that's not how i make models. You'll use my standard instructions to complete the gingerbread version the same way. Finished dimensions as shown are around 2 1/2"x 2 1/2" x 6" high and requires a proficiency with an xacto blade. The files that come are for a larger version printed on 8.5"x11 or 11x17" Recommended for anyone who loves building miniatures or paper models. I wouldn't call the project "easy" but I think it's very doable for anyone who is up for the challenge! There are no refunds on pdf files under any circumstances. Please be sure to read and ask questions before you buy.
