What texture should a gingerbread man cookie be?
Hello. I’m baking for this bake sale. Making gingerbread men this evening. I’m using the old Joy of Cooking recipe, which I’ve used before with no complaints. But I’m not a gingerbread cookie person really (nor gingersnap). So I need some real expert advice. I took a risk and made this recipe with Gold Medal BetterForBread. [That’s what I have a lot of right now, it was on sale and I needed a bunch of bread flour for the bread for the construction workers.] I also made it without cinnamon (my son is allergic). We use allspice instead. What should I be looking for in texture? They are definitely rising more than normal. And look chewy. When I cooled them on a rack (still on parchment), then pulled one away from the parchment, it left a little behind. Maybe I should return them to the oven. The power went off during baking the first sheet (aack) and I was totally guessing based on touch when to pull them out. Before I bake the rest of these batches, I would appreciate some advice. I gues
