How to make Ginger Cookies
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, then stir in the molasses.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the molasses mixture until just combined.
Roll the dough. Keep the thickness 3 mm or as you like. Cut the shapes using a gingerbread man cookie cutter or any shape of your choice.
Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
