By HANNAH SAMPSON | The Washington Post | Published: February 4, 2021 John Derrick has run an online guide to Hawaii travel for nearly 20 years, so he s used to answering questions about the destination. But these days, the questions he gets at GuideofUS Hawaii are a little more complicated. At what age do kids need to be tested? Does my covid-19 vaccination count for anything? Will my large family violate rules about safe gatherings? If I ve already had coronavirus, am I good to go? It really does feel like you need a PhD in Hawaii Safe Travels to parse all the information, Derrick said.
Instructions:
Combine egg, sugar, molasses, butter, and water. Mix well. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, ginger and salt; add molasses mixture to the bowl and beat until well blended. Chill dough overnight in the refrigerator. (You want your dough firm so the cookies hold their shape.) Dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll gingerbread dough out 1/4 thick. Using your favorite cookie cutters, punch out your gingerbread cookies (or shapes for creating a gingerbread house), and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Before decorating with your favorite candy and frosting, allow gingerbread to cool for several hours to ensure the ingredients you add won t melt.
