You can freeze these cookies for several months in airtight containers. Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup molasses |
2 tablespoons white vinegar |
1 large egg |
5 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 tablespoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
Directions:
1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar and salt, beating well. Add molasses, vinegar, and egg, beating at low speed just until blended.
2. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients; add to butter mixture, beating at low speed until blended. Cover and chill 8 hours.
3. Divide dough into fourths. Roll each portion to a 1/8-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut with a 3-inch gingerbread-boy cookie cutter. Place on lightly greased or parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
4. Bake at 375° for 8 minutes. Cool on pans 1 minute (this allows cookies to lift easily off of pan); then place on wire racks to cool. Decorate as desired.
