To make gingerbread, you will need all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, butter, light brown sugar, molasses, an egg, and some water. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the molasses and egg and mix until combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until it is smooth and pliable. Roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. Place the shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.
Once the gingerbread is cool, it's time to get creative with your coloring page. Use food coloring to paint the gingerbread shapes with your favorite colors. You can also use icing to decorate the shapes with different designs. Enjoy your delicious and colorful gingerbread creations!
