Gingerbread Cookies Recipe

Name: Gingerbread Cookies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3-3/4 cups All-purpose Flour; 1/4 teaspoons Ground Cloves; 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg; 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda; 1/2 teaspoons Salt; 2 teaspoons Ground Ginger; 3/4 cups Dark Brown Sugar (packed); 1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature; 2 whole Eggs; 1/2 cups Molasses

Servings: persons

3-3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1/4 teaspoons Ground Cloves
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoons Salt
2 teaspoons Ground Ginger
3/4 cups Dark Brown Sugar (packed)
1/2 cups Unsalted Butter, At Room Temperature
2 whole Eggs
1/2 cups Molasses

1
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (flour, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, salt and ginger) and set aside.
2
In an electric mixer (or large bowl), cream the sugar and butter together until combined. Next add the eggs and molasses and mix until combined. Lastly, add the dry ingredients slowly until the cookie dough forms.
3
Pour out the cookie dough, shape into a ball and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill in the fridge for up to 1 hour or until firm.
4
After an hour, take out the dough and let it sit for 15 minutes (so it becomes easy to work with).
5
Preheat your oven to 350u00b0F.
6
Taking 1/2 cup of dough at a time, roll out the dough (you may need a little flour, but we didn't need much) until it's about 1/4-to-1/8 inch thick. I think ours was that thick, but we might have made it thicker so we had thicker, softer cookies.
7
Cut out whatever shapes you want, and put them on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.
8
Bake for 8-10 minutes. We baked ours for 8 minutes so that they were soft and not hard. Transfer them to a cooling rack and let them cool completely before decorating.
9
Enjoy!
