Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the molasses, egg, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition.
-
Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each portion into a disc, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Roll out each portion of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use skeleton-shaped cookie cutters to cut out shapes and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make the icing. Drizzle the icing over the cooled gingerbread skeletons to decorate.
-
Enjoy your spooky Gingerbread Skeletons!
