INGREDIENTS Cookies

¾ cup Butter, softened slighted ¾ cup Unsulphured Molasses 2 Tbsp Milk Royal Icing 1 pasteurized liquid Egg White

INSTRUCTIONS • In a food processor or mixer with the paddle attachment combine flour, brown sugar, spices, baking soda and salt. Add butter and pulse or mix until mixture resembles sand. • With the processor or mixer running, add molasses and milk until dough is evenly moistened. Wrap dough tightly in plastic and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. • Remove dough from refrigerator and divide into two sections. Keep one piece chilled while working with the other. Roll dough between two pieces of parchment paper to about ⅛-inch thickness, carefully removing and replacing the parchment paper as needed to reduce sticking (if using all-purpose flour, skip the parchment paper). Cut dough into desired shapes but leave on the parchment paper. Return rolled and cut dough to the refrigerator to chill while repeating with remaining dough. 3 cups Bob’s Red Mill® Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour or Bob’s Red Mill® Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour ¾ cup packed Brown Sugar 1 Tbsp Cinnamon 1 Tbsp ground Ginger ½ tsp Cloves ¾ tsp Baking Soda ½ tsp Salt

or 2 Tbsp Aquafaba ½ tsp Vanilla Extract 2 cups Powdered Sugar Food Coloring, if desired

• After both pieces of dough have been rolled, cut and chilled, carefully remove the cutout cookies from the parchment sheets using a flat spatula and transfer to prepared baking sheets. Dough scraps can be rerolled and chilled for more cookies. • Bake until centers are firm, 15–20 minutes, rotating sheets about halfway through the baking time. Let cool completely before decorating. • While the cookies are cooling, prepare royal icing. In the bowl of a mixer, beat egg white or aquafaba and vanilla extract until frothy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix on low until shiny (add any food coloring as desired at this time). Increase mixer to high and beat until stiff and glossy, 5–7 minutes. Decorate cooled cookies as desired. Makes about 20 cookies.
