INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup butter, at room temperature (salted or unsalted)
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup dark molasses
• 2 tablespoons white vinegar
• 5 cups flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cream butter, adding sugar gradually. Beat until well combined and light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
2. Beat in egg, molasses, and vinegar.
3. Sift all of the dry ingredients together and then blend sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
4. Divide the dough into two even pieces, wrap each piece of dough in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 to 90 minutes.
5. When the dough is done chilling, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Working in sections, roll the dough to 1/2″ thick on a floured surface; cut into desired shapes. Place shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. Gather and reroll “scraps” of dough as needed, using all of the dough.
