Warm, spiced, and full of holiday cheer, these gingerbread cookies are a classic Christmas treat. Perfect for decorating or enjoying with a hot drink!
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Add the egg, molasses, and vanilla, mixing well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two portions, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut into shapes using cookie cutters. Place the cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes,
