Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature

⅔ cup packed dark brown sugar

⅓ cup molasses

1 large egg yolk, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2¼ cups All-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoons ground ginger

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon milk

3-4” Rectangle cookie cutter

Directions

  1. Using an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar together until fluffy. Add molasses, egg yolk, milk, and vanilla and mix.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing after each addition.

  3. Form the dough into a large ball and divide the ball in half, and flatten each half into a 1/2 inch thick disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

  5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until about ¼-inch thick. Use rectangular cookie cutters to cut out name tags and use a small knife to taper the edges so they look like tags and use a straw or small circle to make the small hole for the ribbon. Place on prepared baking sheets and refrigerate on the sheets for 30 minutes.

  6. Bake, one sheet at a time, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set, but the middles are still soft. The exact timing will depend on your oven, the size of your cookie cutters, and how soft or crunchy you like your gingerbread cookies.

  7. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate as desired and attach ribbon or rope for the name tags.
