Equipment
- Small mixing bowl
- A small whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- A stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or a medium mixing bowl and a hand mixer) cookie sheet)
- A large baking sheet

Ingredients
- 4 cups Sifted all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter – softened, NOT melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup light molasses
- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
Instructions
- Sift together flour, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer, at medium speed, beat together butter, sugar, and eggs until smooth and fluffy.
- At low speed, beat in molasses and vinegar. The mixture may look curdled, that’s okay. Gradually add flour mixture. Continue beating until smooth.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly oil cookie sheets with your oil of choice.
- Drop dough by tablespoonfuls, 3 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until set.
- Remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool (or to be eaten right away).
