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
- In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in molasses and egg.
- Add flour, spices, baking soda, and salt, and mix just until a dough forms.
- Divide dough in half and cover each piece with plastic wrap. Press down to create two discs. Chill until firm, about 2-3 hours.
- 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.
- Cut out gingerbread shapes, and transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
- Bake until firm, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheets.
- Decorate with white icing and sprinkles as desired.
