Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper & set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter on medium speed until creamy, for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add brown sugar and molasses and mix until combined.
- Add egg and vanilla and mix until fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients and mix just until incorporated.
- The dough will be sticky and thick. Give it a few kneads by hand and divide in half. Form discs and wrap up tightly in plastic wrap.
- Chill for at least 3 hours (or up to 3 days).
- On a well-floured surface roll out dough discs into a 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut out cookies with a 4 or 6 inch gingerbread men cookie cutter and place on the prepared baking sheets with about 1 inch space in between.
- Bake one baking sheet of cookies at a time for 8-11 minutes, the cookies should just lose their sheen and edges set slightly.
- Allow cooling on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Decorate with royal icing or other frosting of your choice.
