Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, ground ginger, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt; set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, brown sugar and beat using the paddle attachment until smooth and creamy.
Add the molasses and egg and beat until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a zip top bag and press into a disk. Chill the dough for at least four hours best overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it’s around ¼ inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Continue rolling the dough and cutting out shapes until all the dough has been used.
Place the cutouts on the lined baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are starting to brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes, then transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
