Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Whisk together the All-Purpose Flour (3 cups), Baking Soda (as needed), and Baking Powder (as needed) in a large bowl. Set aside.
step 2
Place the Unsalted Butter (1 stick) and Truvia® Sweet Complete® Granulated All-Purpose Stevia Leaf Sweetener (1/2 cup) in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until fluffy. Mix in the Ground Ginger (2 tsp), Ground Cinnamon (2 tsp), Ground Cloves (1 tsp), Ground Black Pepper (as needed), and Coarse Salt (1 tsp), then the Farmhouse Eggs® Large Brown Egg (1) and Unsulphured Mild Molasses (1/2 cup). Reduce speed to low. Add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Divide the dough into thirds and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
step 3
Line the baking sheets with nonstick baking mats; set aside. Roll out the dough on a clean work surface to 1⁄4-inch thick. Using a 4 1/2-inch gingerbread man–shaped cookie cutter, cut out cookies, and place them on a baking sheet, at least 1 inch apart. Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
step 4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Bake the cookies until crisp but not dark, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets on a wire rack.
step 5
Using Sugar-Free Royal Icing (to taste) in a squeeze bottle, decorate the gingerbread men, as desired. While still wet, sprinkle with Sanding Sugar (to taste); let dry for 10 minutes. Shake off the excess sugar. Using additional icing, attach Candy (to taste) using craft tweezers. Let dry completely for 8 hours or overnight.
