-
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt until well blended.
-
In your mixer, beat butter, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and vanilla on medium speed until well-incorporated. Add molasses and egg, and mix until incorporated.
-
Begin to add your dry ingredients, little by little, waiting until one portion is fully incorporated before adding more to the mixer. Repeat until fully blended.
-
Divide your dough into two equal portions. Place dough onto non stick baking mat or well-floured surface. Place parchment paper on top, and roll out your dough to thick.
-
Chill the rolled dough in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. This will help get a crisp edge when using cookie cutters.
-
Using your favourite cookie cutters, press into the dough and move your shapes to prepared baking tray. If your dough shapes become soft, chill them once again.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool completely before attempting decoration.
Congratulations you did it!
