Soft and slightly spiced, these cookies are not only delicious but also a joy to create. Let’s embark on the baking adventure!

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly.
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Make sure all ingredients are well combined.
4. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
5. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugars, mixing until completely incorporated.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
7. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to work with.
8. Roll and Cut Out Cookies: Once chilled, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a gnome cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
10. Cool the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Decorate Your Gnomes: Once the cookies are completely cooled, melt the red and green candy melts according to package instructions. Use the melted candy to create hats, noses, and other decorative elements on your gnomes. You can also use royal icing for additional details or to add facial features.
12. Let Decorations Set: Allow the decorations to set for at least 30 minutes before serving or storing the cookies.

Now you can enjoy these festive Gnome Christmas Cookies! Perfect for sharing during the holiday season or as a fun family baking project. Happy holidays!
