Ingredients:1.5c powdered sugar
1c butter (2 sticks)
1 egg
1c molasses
2.5c flour
1 1/2tsp baking soda
1 1/2tsp cream of tartar
1/2tsp ground cloves
1/2tsp nutmeg
1tsp ginger
Optional: 1/4tsp black pepper
Additional ~2.5c flour
(less than 2.5c for chewier cookies)
Cream butter and sugar together. Add vanilla egg and molasses, mix well. In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients (not including the additional flour). Add to wet ingredients and mix. Incorporate the last amount of flour into the dough until it has a workable consistency. Less flour will make the cookies chewier and softer, more flour with make them crunchier.
Frost with homemade buttercream (vanilla, orange, or lemon flavored), or homemade royal icing. Cinnamon sprinkles are always a plus.
