Whereas an individual granule of sanding sugar is large and hard, a single granule of granulated sugar is quite small. You cannot, however, use granulated sugar. You can use other sugars – which are basically the same, but named something differently – there’s pearl sugar and coarse sugar. Sanding sugar is sometimes referred to as baking sugar, and there are some substitutes. I use sanding sugar quite often and I hope it’s not too difficult for you to find.

Unless you’re a full time baker, or really in-tune with baking ingredients, it can be a little overwhelming. I get so many questions about the different kinds of sugars. IS SANDING SUGAR AND GRANULATED SUGAR THE SAME THING? It is sometimes called pearl sugar or coarse baking sugar. Sanding Sugar – Coarse sugar, sometimes referred to as sanding sugar, is used sometimes for decorative purposes.In baking it helps to enhance and balance sweetness. Salt – This is a common ingredient in baking and cooking.Baking Soda – Commonly known as sodium bicarbonate, or just bicarb, it is a baking ingredient that’s activated by a liquid and an acid to help with leavening or rising.Stay away from dark or blackstrap molasses unless instructed otherwise. Molasses – When baking, the best molasses is fancy molasses.I have not tried this recipe with any other type of flour. Vanilla Extract – Probably the most common extract and the most common flavouring used in cakes and cookies.Whenever you set out to bake, make sure your eggs are at room temperature too – just like your butter! Egg Yolk – One large egg is all you need.Sugar – Sugar will caramelize when baked, which will help to brown the cookies.If you use salted butter, do not add the additional salt as indicated further down this list. Butter – Make sure your butter is at room temperature! Use unsalted butter.It will open up a new page so that you can easily get back to these cookies!

And, just a few days ago, I finished this year’s mini series call Lord Byron’s 12 Truffles of Christmas. The year before that, I published a series called Lord Byron’s 12 Bundt Cakes of Christmas. Last year, I published a series called Lord Byron’s 12 Biscotti of Christmas. Or, maybe you’re impatient and can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s recipe will be! If either one of those applies to you, I have a remedy. They are delicious and it’s hard to eat just one! Trust me, these Crispy Gingerbread Cookies won’t be sitting around for too long at all. It was always too hard, and by the time we got around to it, it had been sitting for a few days. My worry was that the cats were going to eat the icing and we all know just how that would end up! The gingerbread house was never eaten. I used to love helping and watching McKenna decorate those when she was a kid, but Lord, it was messy! I think when most of us hear the term gingerbread, we automatically think of an icing-covered, candy-coated, barely-standing-up-straight, too-tough-to-bite, cookie house at Christmastime. There’s just so much more to do with the flavours of gingerbread! I have my Gingerbread Bundt Cake and my Gingerbread Truffles. But, when it comes to gingerbread recipes itself, I’m afraid my blog is lacking. Lord Byron’s Kitchen is certainly no stranger to the wonderful spices that make up the awesomeness that is gingerbread.
