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.
