Ingredients:
3 Cups All Purpose Flour
3/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Ground Ginger
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cloves
3/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
12 Tablespoons (3/4 Cup) Butter, Melted & Cooled
2 Tablespoons Milk
3/4 Cup Molasses
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together with a mixer on low just until well combined. Add the melted butter, milk, and molasses, and process on medium speed until a soft dough forms, scraping down sides of bowl as needed.
2. Lightly spray a counter or work area with baking spray. Transfer the dough to the work are and knead dough together into a ball, about 15-20 seconds. Divide the dough in half and form each half into a disk about 5 inches wide. Wrap each disk with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
3. Preheat oven to 350F. Adjust oven rack to upper middle position. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with one dough disk at a time, roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper until the dough is 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies using gingerbread men cookie cutters (3 to 4 inch cutter). Peel away scraps from cookies, and place cookie on lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart from each other. Repeat rolling and cutting steps with the rest of the dough and scraps.
4. Bake until cookies are puffy and edges are set, about 9-10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking. Let cookies cool on sheets 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack and cool completely before decorating.
