List of Ingredients




1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt


Recipe




1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Mix in the molasses and the vanilla extract.

2. In another bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Then add the flour mixture to the butter mixture a little at a time, stirring well each time. Cover the dough and chill for at least 2 hours.

3. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. On a floured surface, roll the dough flat to a 1/4-inch thickness. Now your kids can cut out large letters with a butter knife.

4. With a spatula, set the letters on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cookies are set. Yield varies depending on the size of the letters.
