List of Ingredients
Gingerbread – Espresso Spirals from Marge
1 18-ounce refrigerated gingerbread cookie dough
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 18-ounce refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
Recipe
Mix together one 18-ounce roll refrigerated gingerbread cookie
dough and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until combined, using your
hands to knead, if necessary. Mix together one 18-ounce roll
refrigerated sugar cookie dough, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder until combined.
Place half of the gingerbread dough between two pieces of waxed
paper. Place half of the espresso-flavor dough between two other
pieces of waxed paper. Roll each dough portion into a 12 x 6-inch
rectangle. Remove the top pieces of waxed paper. Using waxed
paper, invert one dough rectangle on top of the other; press down
gently to seal. Remove top piece of waxed paper. Beginning with
a long side, carefully roll up dough’s, using the remaining waxed
paper to lift and guide the roll. Pinch edges to seal. Repeat with
remaining dough halves.
Sprinkle coarse sugar onto another piece of waxed paper. Roll
one log of dough in sugar. Wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat with
remaining dough and additional sugar. Chill logs for 4 to 6 hours or until firm enough to slice.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut rolls into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Place slices 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake about
8 minutes or until edges are just firm. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
Makes about 6-1/2 dozen cookies
