How to Make Molasses Free Gingerbread
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground allspice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Form the dough into a ball, flatten slightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ⅛ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies about ½ inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake for 6-9 minutes, or until edges are just barely golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, frost with your favorite frosting or enjoy plain.
