Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Mix the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves with a whisk in a bowl
Beat the brown sugar and butter together in a different large bowl until they are smooth and creamy
The butter mixture needs to have molasses, egg, and vanilla extract added to it
Mix everything together by beating it
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until a dough forms
Make two equal pieces of dough, flatten them into discs, and wrap them in plastic wrap
Put it in the fridge for at least an hour
Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on baking sheets
Spread out one piece of dough on a floured surface until its about 1/4 inch thick
Cut out shapes with gingerbread man cookie cutters
Place the cut-out cookies on the baking sheets that have been prepared, leaving some space between each one
Roll out the dough again and cut out more shapes
After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden
After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way
If you want, you can decorate the cookies with frosting and candies after they are completely cool
