Gingerbread Cookies and Tea Livestream Tomorrow (Sunday) at 6:00 PM EST
🕑 Added 2025-01-25 20:16:45 +0000 UTCHello!!
I hope you are all holding up and staying warm! I'm nearly done with this month's all new episode and it will be coming mid next week!
In the meantime, let's gather in the dinning room for a chat over tea and some of the best Gingerbread cookies I've ever made! My cookies will already be baked and ready for this livestream, but I'm leaving my top secret recipe below... This is a new type of cookie I've just recently come up with and it's VERY hard until dipped in tea or milk, so It is an ideal cookie for my next gingerbread house; as well as an amazing snack with your tea!
There is SO MUCH to catch you up on and I'm so excited to share what I've been up to, as well as reveal a sneak peek at this month's episode!
I can't wait to talk to you!

½ cup + 2 Tbsp myokos butter
⅔ cup light brown soft sugar
3/4 cup Dark Corn Syrup
Pinch of salt
1 tps Vanilla
3 ½ tsp ground ginger
3 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground allspice
3 cups + 2 Tbsp plain (all-purpose) flour
1-2 Tbs almond milk (Slowly Add more if dough is too dry)
350 Degrees for 14 Minutes
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream Butter, brown sugar and Dark Corn Syrup in a mixer. Add salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and allspice and blend for several moments. Add flour and almond milk and mix until dough looks blended and crumbly. Add more almond milk if it's not sticking together when pressed.
Roll dough out on a surface dusted with powdered sugar to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out with desired cutter and bake for 14 minutes.
All ovens are a bit different so keep an eye on them for your first batch. When the edges are just beginning to gently brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Cookies are very hard and are edible when dipped in tea
