Instructions

1 In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves,
baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2 In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter with an electric mixer. Add the honey
and molasses, and cream all together. Then add the egg, and mix well.
3 Add the dry ingredients to the butter and honey mixture in several batches,
mixing well after each addition. If the dough becomes too stiff for the mixer,
use a spoon to stir in the dry ingredients until smooth. The dough will be soft.
4 Divide the dough in half, and form each half into a round disc. Wrap each disc
in plastic wrap. Put dough discs in refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
5 After an hour (or dough has firmed up), remove one dough disc from the fridge
and preheat oven to 375 degrees.
6 On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin to about
1/4" thickness. Cut out gingerbread cookies using cookie cutters.
7 Place gingerbread cookies on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes, or until
slightly brown around the edges. After removing baked cookies from oven, allow
to cool on cookie sheet for a few minutes. Then remove from cookie sheet and
transfer to wire racks to cool. Decorate completely cooled cookies with icing if
desired.
