Prep Time: 30 minutes / Cook Time: 10-12 minutes / Yields: 2 dozen
Step 1

In a large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. About 2 minutes at medium speed. Add egg and molasses and mix until well incorporated.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix together with a whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Add to the butter mixture with the mixer at low speed, mixing until combined and a dough is formed.

Step 3

Divide the dough in half, wrap with plastic film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 5

Take the dough out of the refrigerator, and flour a clean work surface. Roll the dough 1/8” to 1/4” thick. Cut out shapes with the desired cookie cutters. 

Step 6

Transfer cookies to lined baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes or until firm. Let the cookies cool in the baking sheets for a few minutes and then transfer them to a cooling rack. Cool completely.
