INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 6 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 1 tablespoon ground ginger
    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 1 cup shortening, melted and cooled slightly
    • 1 cup molasses
    • 1 cup packed brown sugar
    • 💧 ½ cup water
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Sift together flour, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon in a large bowl.

2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat shortening, molasses, brown sugar, water, egg, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until fully incorporated. Divide dough into thirds; form each piece into a 1 1/2-inch-thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

3

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters, and place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

4

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, switching racks halfway through. Remove cookies from the baking sheet to cool on wire racks.

5

Frost cooled cookies as desired.
