  1. This molasses-dark, ginger-and-spice flavored cookie is perfectfor gingerbread men. We roll it a bit thicker than usual, to give the cookiesjust a hint of "chew." While ginger is often thought of as a winter bakingflavor, we’ve found that ginger pairs well with various fruits, too. Ginger andpeach is an especially wonderful combination; try gingerbread cookies servedwith fresh sliced peaches, or a peach crumble topped with gingerbread crumbs.

  2. 3 dozen 3-inch cookies

  3. 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks, 6 ounces) butter

  4. 3/4 cup (5 3/4 ounces) light or dark brown sugar, lightly packed

  9. 1/4 teaspoon allspice or cloves

  10. 1 large egg

  11. 1 teaspoon baking powder

  12. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
