Gingerbread Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Butter
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 each Egg
- 1/2 cup Molasses
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 3 1/2 cup Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tbsp Ground Ginger
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cloves
- 1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 tbsp Milk
Directions
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla extract and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until a dough forms. Divide the dough into 2 portions, flatten each into a disk, wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into shapes and arrange on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are set. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Whisk the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and use the icing to decorate the cooled cookies.
