Gingerbread Cookies

By





Gingerbread Cookies

1 1/3 cup oil
1/2 cup molasses`
2 cup brown sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
6 cups all-purpose flour and a bit more if needed
1 tbsp. plus 1 Tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. plus 1 Tsp.  ground ginger
2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

 If you are not making to many cookies cut this recipe in half, depending on the size of cookie cutters will determine how many cookies you will get out of the dough.

 Preheat oven to 350*, Get your cookie sheets and line with parchment paper and set aside.

 Whisk together the dry ingredients (not the brown sugar) and set aside.

 Using your standup mixer add the wet ingredients and the brown sugar, but add one egg at a time mix well, then slowly add in the flour mixture a little at a time until all is well combined

 The dough will still be sticky.

Dump the dough out onto a heavily floured surface and with floured hands using the sides of your hands (palm of hands), (do not dig your fingers into the dough), work in more flour with your hands until the dough is no longer sticky not too much flour, just a little the best thing to do afterward is cut the dough into four sections and shape into disk shape wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, pulling out only what you will be working with at the time keep the rest refrigerated until ready to use. 

 I leave mine in the refrigerator overnight, or I make it in the morning and then by noon I am baking the gingerbread men.

 On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough about a 1/4 inch thick and using your favorite cookie cutter cut out desired shape, place on prepared cookie sheet.

 Bake for 8 minutes until (cracked) cookie will have lite little cracks. no more than 10 minutes, if you cook them any longer once the cookies cool they will be hard. So 8 minutes is what I always bake mine.

 Let cool for 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

 Eat them as is or decorate them with a glaze
Enjoy
