BEST gingerbread cookies

Our house smells so yummy today! This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas cookies, so I have to share the recipe! (and the dough doesn't need to be chilled before you roll them out!)


5 cups of flour
1 T ginger
1 T baking soda
1 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large eggs
1 c. molasses
2 T vinegar
1 T cinnamon
1 t. cloves

1. combine 1st three ingredients in a bowl
2. cream butter, add sugar and then eggs one at a time
3. now add the molasses and vinegar
4. Mix in the flour
5. roll out on floured surface, use cookie cutters
6. bake 10-12 min (I like to underbake them a little) 350 degrees
7. decorate when cooled
8. Eat those tasty lil guys! :)

and making cookies always means making memories! :)
