Molasses-Free Gingerbread

1. 1

   Cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until color gets light.

2. 2

   Beat in egg.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl blend together all dry ingredients including spices.

4. 4

   Blend into butter mixture until evenly mixed and ball of dough forms.

5. 5

   If you want to use cookie cutters- form dough into a ball and then flatten slightly, wrap and chill.

6. 6

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F once dough is chilled.

7. 7

   Roll chilled dough out onto very lightly floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick and cut into the shape you covet.

8. 8

   Bake on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 375u00b0F for about 6-9 minutes. These cookies will spread a little so try to keep them at least 1/2 inch apart on the cookie sheet.

9. 9

   Cookies are done when just barely golden around the edges.

10. 10

    To keep them crisp cool them on a wire rack.

11. 11

    Once completely cool you can frost them or just eat them plain.

12. 12

    NOTE: If you are going the easy route you can also roll dough into a log, wrap and chill and then just slice into circles and bake instead of using cookie cutters.
