Gingerbread Cookies

So here it is- the final recipe of the cookie countdown to Christmas. We can't believe that we've actually made 25 cookie recipes in 25 days. We have so many cookies and many of our friends and family have been able to enjoy them! We have loved every minute of this experience but are looking forward to a short break. But we will be back to bake more! Sometime I'll tally the total amount of flour, butter and sugar we went through during the last 25 days and post that too! For now, here's your recipe.








Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup molasses
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/8 cup buter, softened
• 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. In a medium bow, mix together the molasses, brown sugar, water and butter until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda, allspice, ginger, cloves and cinnamon, stir them into the wet mixture until all of the dry is absorbed. Cover the dough and chill for at least 3 hours.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4" thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake for 8-10 minutes in the oven. Remove from the cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. Once cool, decorate how you would like!!
