  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  7. Use cookie cutters (or a vintage treat can!) to cut out desired shapes.
  8. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While cookies cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  12. Once cookies are completely cool, frost them with the prepared frosting.
