Servings: persons

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

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside until ready to use.
2
In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, egg, and molasses.
3
Stir in dry ingredients and mix completely. Cover bowl and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
4
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.
5
Decorate cookies using candy and sprinkles or leave plain and ice and decorate after baked.
6
Bake for 8-10 minutes depending on the size of the cookies. Remove from oven.
7
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.
