Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups butter
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup honey or molasses
1 large egg
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp baking soda
candy decorations and sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

Beat first 2 ingredients at medium speed with an electric mixture until fluffy. Beat in honey and egg.
Combine flour and next 5 ingredients. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating until blended.
Shape dough into 2 flat disks. Cover with plastic wrap; chill at least 1 hour or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°. Line several large baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Roll out dough, 1 section at a time, to 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut out gingerbread shapes with cookie cutters. Re-roll trimmed-off dough to make additional cookies. Place 1 inch apart on prepared sheets.
Bake cookies, in batches, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Decorate cookies with Royal Icing or prepared frosting in a tube, and candy and sprinkles, if desired. Let icing harden at least 1 hour.
