Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup molasses
Directions
Sift the flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and baking soda in a bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, blend the butter and brown sugar until combined. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and then the molasses. Slowly add the flour mixture. Mix well after each addition of flour. The dough will be stiff.
Divide dough in half, flatten into 2 thick circles and wrap in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm enough to roll out.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Roll out, cut into desired shapes and bake until golden brown.

I made this recipe for the first time. I am not big on gingerbread, however this recipe was wonderful. I followed the recipe to a T. I dont feel all the bad remarks for this recipe are justified. Recipes are simply blueprints to helpwith your cooking. If something went wrong, then it was either you not following directions correctly, subbing items, (unsalted butter for salted butter, etc..etc..etc.. or make time off. Also, what one person may like, doesnt mean everyone will enjoy it. I personally love liver, my daughter hates it...But I think the creator of this recipe did a fine job.
