INGREDIENTS

3 c. all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for the work surface

2 tsp. ground ginger

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/2 c. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 c. packed dark brown sugar

1/2 c. molasses

1 large egg

DIRECTIONS

Step 1

Whisk together flour, ginger, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and cloves in a bowl. Beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and molasses and beat until fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in egg until combined. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture until combined. Shape dough into 2 disks and wrap with plastic wrap; chill until firm, at least 3 hours.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured work surface, roll each disk to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with a 1 3/4–inch gingerbread man–shaped cookie cutter and place on prepared baking sheets, rerolling scraps once. Bake until edges are golden, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
