Total Time: 2:25

Prep: 0:15

Cook: 0:10

Level: Easy

Yield: 3-4 Dozen

Ingredients

• 3 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
• 3/4 c. Butter, softened to room temperature
• 3/4 c. brown sugar
• 2/3 c. molasses
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• red and green sprinkles, for decorating
• vanilla icing, for decorating

Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in molasses and egg.
2. Add flour, spices, baking soda, and salt, and mix just until a dough forms.
3. Divide dough in half and cover each piece with plastic wrap. Press down to create two discs. Chill until firm, about 2-3 hours.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place one disc of dough on a lightly floured piece of parchment paper. Roll out the dough to ⅛” inch thickness. If the dough softens quickly, freeze the full sheet of dough. Repeat with other disc.
5. Cut out gingerbread shapes, and transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
6. Bake until firm, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheets.
7. Decorate with white icing and sprinkles as desired.
