Ginger Bread Cookies

This is a classic recipe I found in my recipe box. I can't remember how I got this recipe but it is good.

You Need:

1/4 cup butter
1 tbsp molasses
3-4 tbsp water
1 cup flour
pinch salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves

What to do:

Cream butter, sugar, molasses, and water together thoroughly.

Combine the remaining 6 dry ingredients and then stir into creamed mixture gradually until mixed well.

Work with hands to form a smooth dough. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours to help with ease of rolling.

Roll chilled dough out to about 1/4 inch thick on a floured board.

Cut with cookie cutter and place on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake for about 10-12 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven or until slightly browned.

Cool, decorate, and enjoy!
