  • A first for us - we made homemade gingerbread cookies! This took a bit more work than we are used to, but they turned out fantastic - and we had a great time making them!
    Gingerbead Cookies
    3 cups flour
    2 tsp ginger
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1 tsp baking soda
    1/4 tsp nutmeg
    1/4 tsp salt
    3/4 cup butter, softened
    3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
    1/2 cup molasses
    1 egg
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/2 orange rind (optional)
    Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg and salt in large bowl. Set aside. Beat butter, brown sugar, and orange rind in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add molasses, egg and vanilla; mix well. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed. Press dough into a thick flat disk. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness on lightly floured work surface. Cut into desired shapes. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes.
    Hello! Welcome to our page! I’m Val, 53-years-old and a full-time caregiver to my dependent adult daughter. Here, we share our everyday life experiences as a family living with a dependent adult. Our goal is to help other families gain insight and awareness of what everyday life can be like when living with a dependent adult-child with special needs, and to take some of the mystery out of what it will be like when special needs children grow into special needs adults. We want others to know that this life can be good. Beyond challenges and frustrations we find even more joy, entertainment, laughs and good times.

    Chilling cookie dough will make it more flavorful, chewier, and thicker. Using parchment paper works wonders, too!

    If you rub flour on your rolling pin , that helps . And if you stand while you’re rolling the dough , it’s much easier . Just a couple hints .

    Looks delicious. I think the orange-word you are looking for is orange zest. Generally tou want to avoid using the white part of the peel ("pith") since its quite bitter.

    It was fun watching you make gingerbread cookies. I think that the verb you were looking for when you were talking about the orange peel was “zesting.” Bakers and chiefs zest citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges.

    A little hint, if you roll the cookies out on parchment, then cut them all out and instead of picking up the cookies, take away the “negative”. Then you can just slide the parchment onto the baking sheet

      @@AutisticInterpretations I understand…I also thought after I commented that it might hurt her neck and shoulder if she put that much pressure while standing. It all turned out great and fun. Next go ‘round try a little flour on the spatula while picking up the raw cookies. Again, I couldn’t bake a cookie if my life depended on it, I’m 71 yrs old! Lol! Like you, sugar cookies are my favorite. I’m a “plain vanilla” kind of gal! Happy Sunday! Hugs to all!!

    Love Gingerbread cookies. Please tell Jessica that her idea to give my grandkids their spending money to Dinsey all at once was a great idea. We had Christmas with my kids and grandkids last night. My 1 year old granddaughter loved her Peek A Boo Minnie Mouse and her Minnie Mouse that sings nursey rhymes. My 3 year old granddaughter loved her Minnie Mouse Ice Cream Shop. I'm going over tomorrow to teach my 9 year old granddaughter how to start making her Stitch Latch and Hook pillow. She loves crafts.

    I don't get it - if this is how you guys earn your living (no judgement there, at all) why do you rarely have all of the proper ingredients when doing a cooking video?
    ETA: also, if you're filming these days in advance why not just go get the ingredients and start then?
    I find that this lessens the credibility of your content - running late, missing ingredients, cameras/ computers not set up right before you guys live stream, etc.
    And yes. I can choose to not watch. I get that. But they also encourage leaving comments and asking questions.

      Hi Erin, thanks for your feedback. I guess I will say it is what it is. Our lives here are full, busy, often disorganized, sometimes chaotic, usually last minute, spur of the moment and ever changing. And most of all we are imperfect. But we are the real us rather than some pseudo perfection that doesn’t exist in our world.
      Having said all of that, we will keep your advice in mind and strive to do better.
