Ambrosial Buttercream Frosting

Posted by Hallee on Nov 3, 2009 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Recipes

I am complimented constantly on my frosting. I use it on cakes and cookies regularly. If you don’t have a stand mixer, it takes a little bit of time and work, but it is SO worth it.

Gregg’s Gingerbread Cookie Dough

Posted by Hallee on Sep 8, 2009 in Breads, Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Holiday fare, Recipes

Traditionally, gingerbread cookies are decorated with white icing and raisins for features, but feel free to let your imagination run wild with other decorations such as red hots, colored sugar sprinkles, gumdrops, etc. Prepared dough will keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. This wonderful, versatile dough can not only be used to make gingerbread men, but also other shapes, like gingerbread houses.

Gregg’s Quick & Easy Royal Icing

Posted by Hallee on Sep 8, 2009 in Desserts, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

In an effort to economize, when creating a recipe for Gingerbread Cookies that would certainly need Royal Icing, I decided to experiment with the eggs in use. Splitting the egg yolks into the gingerbread and saving the whites for the icing worked out perfectly.
