Let’s kick off my gingerbread cookie series! 🎄✨🧚🏻I will be showing you all the different things you can do with a simple gingerbread recipe to help you plan your Christmas baking! Less mixing and more options! This cookie uses my “No Spread Gingerbread” meaning this cookie isn’t going anywhere! It works perfectly with cookie molds or for making things like gingerbread houses or cut cookies! 
½ cup unsalted butter - softened (or shortening)
⅔ cup light brown sugar
3 ½  cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 ½  tablespoon ground cinnamon
⅛  teaspoon salt
1/2 cup heavy cream (or any milk)
½  cup molasses

Add the flour, ginger, cinnamon, and salt to a large mixing bowl. Sift to combine. Set aside. 
Cream together the butter and the sugar with your electric mixer until just combined. Scrape down the sides.
Add the molasses and milk. Stir on low until well incorporated. Add in the flour slowly. I like to use a large spoon and add a spoonful at a time until there’s no flour left. Stop periodically to scrape the side of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated evenly. The dough should be dry but not crumbly. If it appears too crumbly simply add a splash of heavy cream or milk. 
Pull dough out of the mixer and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake: 
Preheat the oven to 350°f. Flour your cookie molds and firmly press a small ball of dough into the mold. Turn your mold upside down and tap until the cookie comes out. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake until just set - usually 10-12 minutes.
