Holiday Spice Cookies
Sift dry ingredients together; set aside. Cream butter and sugar until smoothly blended. Blend in molasses and eggs. Mix in dry ingredients to form dough. Refrigerate covered dough at least 1 hour until firm. Roll out to 1/4" thickness. Cut shapes; transfer to parchment-lined pans. Bake at 380°F until firm and lightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on racks. Decorate cookies with colored royal icing, sprinkles and candies as desired.
