| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 3 ¼ cups |

| Ground ginger | 1 tablespoon |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 tablespoon |
| Ground nutmeg | ½ teaspoon |
| Salt | ½ teaspoon |

| Large egg | 1 |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |

Cooking Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In another large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter and packed brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Molasses and Egg: Mix in the molasses, large egg, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the butter and sugar mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined and a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
- Chill the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal portions, flatten them into disks, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Roll Out the Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take one disk of chilled dough out of the fridge and on a lightly floured surface, roll it out to about ¼ inch thickness.
- Cut into Shapes: Use a gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the rolled dough. Carefully transfer the cutouts to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly firm and the cookies are set. Be careful not to overbake; they will continue to firm up as they cool.

- Add Egg and Flavorings: Incorporate the large egg, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon into the creamed mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed. Mix until the dough starts to come together; be careful not to overmix.
- Chill the Dough: Form the dough into a ball and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up the dough, making it easier to roll out.
- Preheat Oven: After chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll and Cut Cookies: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Use nutcracker-shaped cookie cutters to cut out cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Icing: While the cookies cool, mix the powdered sugar with milk until you achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency. Divide the icing into bowls and add food coloring to create your desired shades.
- Decorate the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, use a piping bag or a spatula to decorate with the colorful icing. Add edible glitter and sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
- Let the Icing Set: Allow the decorated cookies to sit at room temperature until the icing has set before serving or packaging them for gifting.
Enjoy your beautifully decorated Nutcracker Door Cookies this holiday season!
