Directions

Step 1: Make dough

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and spices, and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, sugar, and molasses until light and fluffy, about 5 min. Add egg and Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract and mix until just combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add in flour mixture and mix until just combined. Split dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap, flattening into a disc. Chill for at least 1 hour.

Step 2: Bake dough

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with one disc at a time, roll dough out into a large rectangle until it is ½-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut cookies into desired shapes, rerolling scraps until all dough is shaped, and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 min., rotating halfway through. Cookies should still be soft and will harden as they cool.
