Ingredients
Instructions
Mix sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl before adding egg, molasses, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
In a different bowl, mix dry ingredients and spices.
Add dry mixture to molasses mixture until a dough forms.
Cover and chill dough for at least 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 350°F and roll out dough.
Cut out cookies, place on lined cookie sheets, and bake: 8–10 minutes for medium cookies, 12–14 minutes for large cookies, or 6–8 minutes for small cookies.
Cool before decorating.
Notes
If chilled overnight, let the dough stand for 30 minutes so it is easier to roll.
