Instructions
 

The Dry

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: 375 g all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. ground ginger, 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon, 1/8 tsp. ground cloves, 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Mix with a whisk to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
    Denis Tip: If you have have non grounded cloves, use a mortal and pestle instead to mix the spices first.

The Wet

  1. In the another large mixing bowl, add the softened 125 g unsalted butter, 200 g brown sugar, and 80 g molasses. Use a whisk or hand mixer to cream these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  2. Crack the 1 egg into the bowl, add the 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and continue to mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while mixing. Alternate adding the dry ingredients with the 45 ml milk, mixing until just combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into a two disks and wrap them plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

The Baking

  1. With the oven rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the disc of dough to a thickness of about 1 cm.
  2. Use a cookie cutter to cut out cookies, reusing scraps as necessary. I use a 2.5 inch - 6 cm cookies cutter which makes 20 cookies.

  3. Once you've shaped and cut out your cookies, place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Proceed to decorate how you want, I sprinkle 1/8 tsp. turbinado sugar on top of each cookie just before putting them in the oven. I also like to press them with a metal grid to leave a texture.

  4. Bake one sheet at a time for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. If you have a large baking sheet, you can do it in one wave, but the cooking time will be increased.

    This is good. Minus one star because I tried it in the summer rather than near Christmas and it’s quite random, doesn’t hit the same. Will come back and update in December.
