How to Make Gingerbread Skeletons
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses and vanilla extract.
- 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 your gingerbread and/or animal cookie cutters to cut out skeleton and animal shapes.
- Place the cutouts onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the gingerbread cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
- Once cooled, decorate your gingerbread skeletons and animal cookies with royal icing, candy melts, sprinkles, or other fun decorations.
