Spiced Gingerbread Cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl, blending them until smooth and creamy.
2
Add the egg to this mixture and blend until it's fully incorporated.
3
Next, add the dark corn syrup and orange zest to this mixture, blending until they're evenly distributed.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the initial blend until everything is well combined.
5
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Heat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), as specified.
7
Prepare the cookie sheets by greasing them with a non-stick cooking spray.
8
Unroll the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
9
Use cookie cutters to shape the dough into desired shapes.
10
Place these cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared cookie sheets, ensuring they have enough space to spread out during baking.
11
Bake these cookies in the preheated oven until they're firm and have a lightly toasted edge, taking 10 to 12 minutes.
