How to Make Old Fashioned Gingerbread Cookies
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 cup molasses until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly flour a clean work surface or use a silicone baking mat. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes. Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly firm. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For extra deliciousness, freeze the baked cookies for at least 30 minutes. This enhances the flavor and texture.
