Yield 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

For cookies
1/2 cup butter, unsalted
1/2 cup white sugar or brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
3 1/2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
water
For icing
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
water
food coloring

Steps:

  • 1 - Preheat over to 350*. 2 - Blend together butter and sugar until fluffy. 3 - In a separate small bowl combine molasses and 5 tbls. water with a fork. 4 - Stir molasses mixture into butter mixture. 5 - Sift together remaining dry ingredients. 6 - Sift again, and then stir into the butter mixture, 1/2 a cup at a time, until blended. 7 - Wrap dough in waxed paper and refrigerate for several hours. 8 - You can also freeze the dough at this point for several weeks. 9 - When ready to bake - take dough out of fridge a part at a time. 10 - Grease cookie sheets. 11 - Roll out on lightly floured surface until thin, roughly 1/8 of an inch thick. 12 - Cut dough with floured cookie cutters. 13 - Bake about 8 minutes. Cookies should be just slightly browned on the bottom. 14 - Let cool on rack. 15 - For icing: Combine confectioners sugar, a few drops of water and a few drops of food coloring. 16 - Prep time is to make dough, cook time is the actual rolling and baking. Cookie yield is a guess as it depends on how big your gingerbread man cutter is!
