3 cups [item=Pastry Flour]
2 teaspoons [item=Ground Ginger]
1 teaspoon [item=Fragrant Cinnamon] Ground
1 teaspoon [item=Baking Soda]
¼ teaspoon [item=Whole Nutmeg], Ground
¼ teaspoon [item=salt]
¾ cup [item=Stick of Butter], softened
¾ cup firmly packed [item=Bag of Light Brown Sugar]
½ cup [item=Ice Cream Parlor Molasses Topping]
1 [item=Raw Chicken Eggs]
1 teaspoon [item=Vanilla Extract]
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, cloves, salt and nutmeg. Set aside.
In an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or alternately, you can use a hand mixer and a separate large mixing bowl), beat the butter and sugar together for 2 minutes on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add in egg, molasses and vanilla, and beat on medium speed until combined. Reduce mixer speed to low, and gradually add the flour mixture until just combined. Divide the dough into two equal portions, and form them each into a ball. Then gently use your hands to flatten each ball into a 1-inch thick disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour or so, or until the dough is chilled yet still somewhat pliable.
Once you are ready to bake the cookies, heat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Unwrap the dough and place it on a large, lightly-floured hard surface. Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough evenly until it is approximately 1/8-inch thick. Then use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes, re-rolling the dough as needed to cut out more. Transfer to parchment-covered baking sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cookies are crisp around the edges and on top. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

I shared these last year, but they are my favorite cookies... Neapolitan Cookies BASE 2 and 1/2 cups (313g) 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon 1 cup (230g/2 sticks) unsalted, softened to room temperature 1 cup (200g) 1 large + 1 egg yolk, at room temperature 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Strawberry portion: 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons (12g) 1 Tablespoon (20g) 1/2 teaspoon 2-3 drops optional: 1/4 teaspoon (strawberry extract) for extra flavor Chocolate portion: 1 and 1/2 Tablespoons (8g) 1 ounce (28g) , melted and slightly cooled
Instructions: Make the dough: Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until creamed, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Dough will be thick and sticky. Remove from the mixing bowl. No need to rinse out the mixing bowl. Divide the dough into 3: There’s about 30 ounces of dough (1 lb, 14 ounces). Divide into three equal portions, about 10 ounces each. One portion is your vanilla dough. Nothing will be added to it. Set vanilla dough aside. The other two portions will be your strawberry dough and chocolate dough. Make the strawberry dough: Place one portion of dough back into the mixing bowl. Add all of the strawberry dough ingredients. I recommend starting with 1 drop of red or pink food coloring. Beat on low speed until dough is combined. Add another drop or 2 of food coloring until you reach the pink color desired. For the pictured cookies, I only used 1 drop of dusty rose gel food coloring. Remove from the mixing bowl. No need to rinse out the mixing bowl. Make the chocolate dough: Place last portion of dough back into the mixing bowl. Add all of the chocolate dough ingredients. Beat on low speed until dough is combined. Shape and chill cookie dough: See step-by-step photos above showing this following step so you have a better understanding. Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the chilled cookie dough out. I recommend layering the cookie dough into the pan in the following order: strawberry dough on the bottom, vanilla dough in the middle, chocolate dough on top. Using your hands, press each dough layer firmly and evenly into prepared loaf pan. Cover loaf pan tightly and chill dough in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours (and up to 4 days) or 1 hour in the freezer. (See make ahead tip if you wish to freeze longer.) Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside. Slice and bake: Lift dough out of the pan using the overhang of parchment paper on the sides. You’ll have a 9×5 inch block of dough. Slice in half lengthwise so you have two 2.5 x 9 inch rectangles. Use a sharp knife to trim off the ends so the rectangles are 8 inches long. Slice each into 16 cookies. Each cookie is 1/2 inch thick. Trim the cookie edges to make neat rectangles, if desired.* Arrange cookies 2-3 inches apart on the baking sheets. If desired, brush each lightly with egg wash (see recipe note) and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Errr... a festive sauce, you say? I make a KILLER cranberry sauce. I can't bake for anything, but I can cook. I've never made a cookie worth eating, but I have never gotten a complaint about this cranberry sauce: (this makes a LOT, because it's even better the next day!) 2 16 ounce bags you can use frozen, but fresh is better. Juice and zest from one a heavy dash of Not syrup, but the ground stuff a stick of a heavy pinch of (I highly recommend sea salt, but it's not crucial) (I use cajun salt, because I like the teeny spice kick) 1 cup plus two heaping tablespoon of (the darker, the better!) a little , enough to wet, maybe 1/4 cup...? Sorry, I totally cook with my heart. for a boozy kick, change water for 6-8 tablespoons oror Instructions: Toss it all in a pot. Non-stick is fine. Heat on medium/medium-high, stirring until bubbling. low/med-low for 10-15 minutes until you see that most of the cranberries have ruptured, and a jell has started to form. take off heat and carefully pull out the cinnamon stick. gently mash (I use a potato masher, my sis uses a spoon) and then transfer to a pyrex or heat safe bowl. fridge for at LEAST an hour or until jell is mostly formed. It will be chunky. If it's wet, let it sit longer in the fridge. If after awhile and it is still obviously wet, then you used too much water. sorry. Tell your guests it's a chilled soup... lol If you add alcohol, not all is cooked out! But it's still pleanty safe for kids.

how about some red velvet cookies?

125 g 100 g Light Brown Sugar 75 g White Granulated Sugar 1 Large/Medium Egg 1 tsp 1 tsp 265 g Plain Flour 15 g 1 + 1/2 tsp 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda 1/2 tsp 300 g

Add in your white chocolate chips and beat till they're distributed well!
Weigh your cookies out into eight cookie dough balls - they're about 115-120g each.
Once they're rolled into balls, put your cookie dough in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or in the fridge for an hour or so!
Whilst the cookie dough is chilling, preheat your oven to 180C Fan, or 200C regular! If your oven runs hot, go for 160C-170c.
Take your cookies out of the freezer/fridge and put onto a lined baking tray.
Bake the cookies in the oven for 12-14 minutes.
Once baked, leave them to cool on the tray for at least 30 minutes, as they will continue to bake whilst cooling!
ENJOY!
