1 cup butter1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup molasses
2 TBSP vinegar
5 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 TBSP ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
Cream butter and sugar. Add egg, molasses and vinegar. Whisk dry ingredients together. Mix with sugar mixture. Chill 3 hours. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes until cookies just start to crack. Cool slightly, then remove to wire rack.
I mix up a sugar glaze of powdered sugar and milk and ice the cooled cookies. I'm way too lazy to actually decorate them.

So I agree with you about not "usually" liking these cookies. Though there is not a cuter cookie, I usually pass. But if you say their good...
Do it, Lindsey! Just make sure you take them out of the oven when they are barely set and just cracking!
MMmmmmm....Gingerbread....my favorite! I'll have to give them a try!
MMM...you had me at the molasses : )
