Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened slightly
3/4 cup dark muscavado sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Whisk the dry ingredients except the sugar. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter with the sugar until slightly fluffy. Slowly beat in the milk.

On low speed, beat in the dry mixture until combined; dough will be sticky. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, roll each to 1/4 to 1/8-inch thick between sheets of parchment paper, and freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line sheet pans with parchment paper.

Put the cookie dough on a floured work surface; cut and transfer cookies to the prepared sheets. Reroll and cut the scraps into cookies.

Bake the thinner cookies for about 11 minutes, until crisp, and the thicker about 20 minutes. Cool for about 2 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

Five stars for taste
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

it's too bad the recipe was not written correctly. this is a great cookie when you add the egg and molasses. i did 1 egg... and 1/4 molasses and it was just right, not overly sticky. the cookies came out great and the taste is fantastic. it's too bad FN does not check the recipes more closely. this is not the first time i have seen a big discrepency between the recipe made on tv and the posting on the web site.Read more

added the egg and molasses
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I added one egg and a 1/2 cup dark molasses. It was AWESOME!!!!! I make gingerbread cookies every year and this is by far my... FAVORITE recipe! I am so glad I read the reviews before I make anything off the website, because I would have missed out on a real gem of a recipe if I went by only the star rating. I would describe the taste as gingerbread for the discerning palate. Great spicy kick with a sweet chewy cookie! But it is very sticky, freezing it in sheets ready to cut is the way to go.Read more

Gingersandman--dry gingerbread men
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I am unhappy that the error in the recipe was noted TWO YEARS ago and no one had respect for the loyal viewers to rectify it.... Shame on everyone who is responsible for maintaining the Food Network site. The error was understandable--we are all human--but to not correct it is unacceptable. Carole Estero, FLRead more

many, many of Flay's recipes are different than what he cooks. Watch his how - always different. I quit trying after awhile.
