| GingerBread Kryceks Xmas wouldn't be Xmas without these festive favourites! 
1 stick (1/2 cup or 1/4 pound) butter - softened |
Pre-heat
oven to 350oF Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, allspice and baking soda until blended. Beat in molasses and yolk. On low speed, beat in flour. Divide dough in half, wrap and chill until firm (1 hour) Roll half the dough at a time on a well-floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut with floured cookie cutters. Transfer with spatula to ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Let cookies cool on cookie sheets approx. 1 minute before transferring them to cooling racks. With a dull knife for maximum difficulty, remove left arm from each cookie, as shown above (diagram 1) Decorate as desired. Bite off the heads first! (Hint: Even though it's less fun, it works better if you cut off the arms before you bake the cookies. And Silver Dragees make great oilien eyes!) |

Stuff and truss AgentFowley, while you're at it. Stop immediately if she looks like she's enjoying it. Step 4 Place goose on a rack in large roasting pan. Insert a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh, being carfeul not to touch the bone. Spoon remaining stuffing into a lightly greased 1 1/2-quart casserole; cover and refrigerate. Do the same to Agent Fowley. Step 5 Roast goose for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer registers 175°, draining fat approx. every half hour.
