Cookies!

Had D&D with allandaros and folks last night, so I baked cookies. A new recipe, so I thought I'd share.

Note: these recipes are meant to be made with a cookie gun, and I haven't tried them without.

Crispy Gingerbread Cookies
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Preheat oven to 375°.

Cream butter, sugar, and egg until light and fluffy. In separate bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Gradually add to creamed mixture and beat well to make a smooth, stiff dough.

Fill cookie press and press cookies onto ungreased cookie sheet; the dough is more than greasy enough to keep the cookies from sticking, and parchment will just make you crazy. Feel free to pack them in tight, they don't spread at all. Bake 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges. Spin cookies to separate them from the sheet and then relocate them to a rack to cool.

Makes about 8 dozen, give or take. They store really well if packed in wax paper in a tin.
