Lately I've really been into gingerbread flavored items so I had to make a gingerbread cookie for Christmas. I got this from a 100 best cookies magazine.
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp grated nutmeg
- dash of ground loves
- 3/4 cut butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup mild flavored molasses
- 1 egg
- In a medium bowl, stir together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves and set aside
- Cream butter and add brown sugar and molasses. Beat until combined.
- Beat in eggs till combined. Gradually beat in flour mixture till combined.
- Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. I made these into small balls, but if you make bigger you just have to increase baking time. Place balls about 4'' apart on cookie sheets and using the bottom of a glass flatten the balls slightly.
- Bake approximately 15 minutes, until the edges are set. Don't overbake. Cool on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes and transfer to a wire rack.
- Combine 2 cups powdered sugar, 4 tsp milk and 1/4 tsp vanilla to make powdered sugar icing, add more milk if necessaary till it gets to a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cookies.
