How to cook deliciously - Gingerbread Yule Logs

1. Stage

In a small bowl, whisk the first 5 ingredients. In a large saucepan, combine corn syrup, brown sugar and butter; cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted. Transfer to a large bowl; gradually beat flour mixture into corn syrup mixture. Beat in cream cheese. Shape dough into a disk. Wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll.

2. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°. On parchment, roll dough into an 18x12-in. rectangle. Cut into three 12x6-in. rectangles.

3. Stage

In a small bowl, mix Nutella and, if desired, lime zest; spread over rectangles. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal. Cut each roll crosswise into 4 logs; place on greased baking sheets, seam side down. If desired, use the tines of a fork to make strokes in dough to resemble bark.

4. Stage

Bake 20-25 minutes or until bottom and edges are light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

5. Stage

In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and water until smooth; drizzle over cookies. If desired, decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set.
