Christmas Cookie Edition: Gingerbread Cookies

November 7, 2023 by Holly Leave a Comment

3 c. flour
1/4 t. salt
1 t. baking soda
2 t. ground ginger
1 t. ground cinnamon
1/2 t. grated nutmeg
1/4 t. ground cloves
1/2 c. dark brown sugar
8 T. unsalted butter, softened plus 1 T. for frosting
2/3 c. Grandma’s molasses
1 egg
1 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 T. milk
1/4 t. vanilla extract

Cream together butter and sugar, until fluffy. Add molasses. In a separate bowl sift together flour, salt, baking soda and spices. Slowly blend into butter mixture. Wrap dough in saran wrap and refrigerate for two hours (up to one week).

Roll dough to about 1/4″ inch thick. Using your favorite cookies cutters, like a gingerbread man, cut out cookies or make a house (need to at least double the recipe for a house). Bake in oven pre-heated to 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

Frosting:
1 c. powdered sugar
1 T. butter, softened
1 1/2 T. milk
1/4 t. vanilla extract

Blend thoroughly. Works best in an icing tube, but a knife will be fine, too.
