Gingerbread

Thank you Martha Stewart for your gingerbread recipe. My husband will do practically anything I want (like the dishes) if I make these cookies. Seriously, he LOVES them and swears they are the BEST gingerbread cookies ever!

Ingredients:

5 ½ cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 ½ tsp salt

4 tsp ginger

4 tsp cinnamon

1 ½ tsp cloves

1 tsp nutmeg

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 ½ cups molasses

Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Beat together butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time scraping bowl down in between. Add molasses and scrape down bowl again. With mixer on low speed add flour.

Chill one hour in the fridge.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough on a well-floured surface until ¼ “ thick. Place dough back in the freezer for 15 minutes. Then cut with cookie cutters.

Bake for 12-14 minutes.
