Gingerbread Cookies without Molasses

Place the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter brown sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Add the egg, and mix until combined.

Pour in the flour mixture, and beat on low speed until just combined and no flour streaks remain.

Form the dough into a disc shape, and transfer it to a piece of plastic wrap. Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

Roll the chilled dough into ¼ inch - ½ inch thickness, and use a cookie cutter to cut the cookies. Place on a prepared baking sheet.

Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes, cool, and frost with powdered sugar icing.
