Gingerbread Man Recipe: Ingredients: 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 large egg 1/2 cup molasses 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Instructions: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, molasses, and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until dough comes together. Divide dough in half, wrap each half in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Use gingerbread man cookie cutters to cut out shapes and transfer to prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are firm and slightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate cooled cookies with icing, candies, or sprinkles as desired. This recipe is adapted from the cookbook "The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book" by Fannie Merritt Farmer, originally published in 1896.
