Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup butter, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp water
1/2 to 1 tsp grated orange peel
3-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
icing:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 2 tbsp milk

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, molasses, water and orange peel; mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg; gradually add to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut into stars or desired shapes and place on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 375° for 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. For icing, combine the sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency. Ice cookies as desired. Yield: about 6 dozen.
