How to Make Gingerbread Christmas Tree
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a large baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use a Christmas tree cookie cutter (or freehand cut a tree shape) to cut out the gingerbread tree shapes.
- Place the cut-out trees onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, decorate your gingerbread trees with frosting, candies, sprinkles, and other festive decorations.
