Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Brown sugar
- 120 milliliters Molasses
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 375 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a cohesive dough forms.
Step 5
Divide the dough into two portions and flatten each into a disk. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough to a thickness of about 6 millimeters (1/4 inch).
Step 8
Use a gingerman-shaped cookie cutter to cut out cookies and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) of space between each cookie.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the centers are set.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Repeat with the remaining dough, re-rolling scraps as needed.
Step 12
Decorate the cooled cookies as desired with icing, sprinkles, or other decorations.
