Ingredients
Scale
4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 tablespoon of ground ginger
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
1 cup of brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup of unsulfured molasses
1 large egg
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Royal icing for decorating (you can make your own or buy ready-made)
Assorted candies for decoration (think gumdrops, candy canes, and M&Ms)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Beat in the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Once chilled, roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick.
Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut out pieces for your house.
Place your shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Let the baked pieces cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.
