Ingredients
Method
In bowl, whisk together flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
In large bowl, using hand mixer on medium speed, beat butter with sugar until fluffy, about 1 minute; beat in molasses. Stir in flour mixture in 2 additions to make soft dough. Knead gently to form smooth ball; shape into disc. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Between parchment paper or on lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Using small star-shaped cookie cutter, cut out shapes, rerolling and cutting scraps as necessary. Arrange, 1 inch apart, on prepared pans; refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with decorating sugar (if using).
Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until fragrant and firm, about 8 minutes. Let cool on pan on rack for 5 minutes; transfer directly to rack to cool completely
Test Kitchen Tip: Mix and match cookie cutter shapes for a loose and casual holiday feel.
Makes about 50 cookies.
