  • 3¾ cups (500 g / 1.1 lb) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1½ teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1½ teaspoons ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 stick (120 g / 4.2 oz) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup (150 g / 5.3 oz) tightly packed dark brown sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 °F (191 °C).

  6. Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix on low until the dough is evenly mixed.
  7. Turn the dough out on a lightly-floured work surface.
  8. Pat into an even disk.
  9. Cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm, about 20–30 minutes.
  10. Roll out the dough to a 0.25-inch (6.4 mm) thickness.
  11. Use 5.5-inch (14 cm) cookie cutters to cut out cookies.
  12. Transfer cookies to prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about an inch apart.
  13. Bake the cookie until they are firm, about 10–14 minutes, depending on size.
  14. Transfer the cookies to wire racks and let cool completely before decorating, if desired.
  15. Bake the remaining dough in batches, as directed.
  16. Frost with royal icing.
