Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup molasses
- 3 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- powdered sugar for rolling out dough
- candies
- sprinkles
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside until ready to use.
- In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, egg, and molasses.
- Stir in dry ingredients and mix completely. Cover bowl and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
- Take out small portions, about 1/4 cup or 1/2 cup, of the cookie dough, and roll out 1/4- to 1/2-inch thickness. Use powdered sugar instead of flour to roll out cookie dough. It won't toughen cookies as flour does if too much is used.
- Decorate cookies using candy and sprinkles or leave plain and ice and decorate after baked.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the cookies. Remove from oven.
- Let cookies cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes and carefully remove from cookie sheet to wire rack to cool another 10 minutes before using icing and decorating.
