I love gingerbread cookies! They are especially good during the holiday season. Here is a simple recipe on how to make them.

Ingredients:

– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 3/4 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup molasses
– 1/2 cup butter (softened)
– 1 egg
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 tsp ground ginger
– 1 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp ground cloves
– 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy.
2. Add the egg and molasses, and mix until combined.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
5. Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes.
8. Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are firm.
10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

And there you go! Gingerbread cookies ready to enjoy.
