Ingredients
- 3 ¼ cups flour
- ¾ tsp baking soda
- ¾ cup butter softened, unsalted
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tbsp ginger
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- ½ tsp clove
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg large
- ½ cup molasses
- Miscellaneous decorations frosting, sprinkles, etc.
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and salt together in a bowl and mix until well combined.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy and creamy.
- Mix in egg and molasses.
- Gradually add the flour mixture; you may need to work it with your hands to incorporate the flour mixture.
- Divide dough in half; wrap each half in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Roll out the dough on lightly floured parchment paper. If after refrigerating the dough feels too soft to roll out, work in a little more flour.
- Using a rolling pin, roll dough 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate again for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to cut out the cookies.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut into desired shapes. Form the leftover dough into a dish and place it into the freezer for a few minutes to get chilled before re-rolling and cutting out shapes; repeat.
- Transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Bake until crisp but not darkened, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Let sit a few minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Decorate as desired. Enjoy!
