Gingerbread Cookies from Baking a Moment
https://bakingamoment.com/gingerbread-cookies-that-dont-spread-in-the-oven/
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened slightly but still cool
- 1 cup dark brown sugar (tightly packed)
- 2/3 cup molasses
- 2 eggs, large
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 cups all-purpose flour (you may need as much as 5 cups)
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Place the butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl, and cream together until smooth.
-
Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula, add the molasses, and mix until combined.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl after each addition.
-
Add the cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves, and mix on medium-low speed until combined.
-
Add about 2/3 of the flour, then mix on low speed until incorporated (the dough will look very dry and crumbly at first, but will come together after a minute or so).
-
Add in the remaining flour, a little at a time, until the dough forms a ball and comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl. (If the dough still seems sticky, add up to an additional 1 cup of flour, until it is smooth and easier to handle.)
-
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3/8-inch (rolling pin rings help to achieve an even and exact thickness) between 2 sheets of parchment paper, and cut shapes with cookie cutters.
-
Transfer shapes to the prepared baking sheets, and bake for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges and just a little softer towards the centers.
