Ingredients
  

Cookies

  • 3 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cloves
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup Molasses
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Icing

  • 2 cups Powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp Milk
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Sift flour, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt into a medium bowl.
  • Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and brown sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes Add in the molasses, then the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined. Scrape the bowl down and mix once more.
  • With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture gradually until a nice dough forms.
    Divide the dough in half and shape into disks. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  • When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of chilled dough at a time to about ¼-inch in thickness.
    Dip the cookie cutter shapes of your choice in flour and cut out as many as you can. Carefully transfer each cutout to a baking sheet, leaving an inch between them.
  • Bake the cookies one sheet at a time for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to let cool.
    Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. ENJOY!

Decorate Cookies

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the icing ingredients until smooth. To thicken the icing more add powdered sugar, to thin it out, add more milk. Transfer to a piping bag with a small hole, zip bag, or squeeze bottle to decorate the cooled cookies with icing. HAVE FUN! Let the icing set and harden before storing.
