Anweisungen

Cream butter and sugar. Add molasses and egg yolk. In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg. Add this mixture to butter mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.

Roll dough out to ¼ inch thick between two sheets of waxed paper. Chill for at least an hour. It's a fairly sticky dough so you might need to chill it a little longer.

Preheat oven to 350℉. Pull your dough out and cut with cookie cutters. Place cookies 2" apart on a baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes. If you bake them on the short end they will stay soft and chewy and if you bake them on the longer end they will be nice and crispy.

Allow to cool about 5 minutes on pan, and then transfer to wire rack and cool completely. Once cooled, decorate.
