How to Make Gingerbread Boy Cookies
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out gingerbread men (or other shapes).
- Place cookies on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are firm. Larger cookies may require a longer baking time.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, decorate as desired with icing, sprinkles, etc.
