Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Molasses
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a cookie press fitted with your desired stencil design.
Press the dough directly onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each cookie about 1 inch apart.
Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set but not browned. Do not overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
