Today we have a wonderful vintage recipe from our collection. These gingerbread cookies are so easy to make and fun to decorate that come Christmas Eve, we’re pretty sure Santa is going to love them too. ▶ Vintage Holiday Gingerbread Cookies 1 stick unsalted butter, soft 1/2 cup brown sugar packed 1/2 cup dark molasses 3 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp ground cloves 3/4 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp ground ginger 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 cup water Blend butter & sugar until creamy. Beat in molasses. Sift flour with soda, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and salt, then add to butter mixture with 1/4 cup water. If too stiff add a little more water. Lightly knead dough until smooth and divide into three parts. Wrap two parts in plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Grease the bottom of a cookie sheet, then roll out dough to just less than 1/4″ – thinner will be too crisp. Bake at 350 for 8 – 10 minutes. ▶ LINKS: 🍽️ Gram's Recipe Box post about Gingerbread Cookies https://gramsrecipebox.com/2024/12/16... 🚀Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas performed by Building 600    / @building600   ▶ FOLLOW ME: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...
