- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions to Create Holiday Magic:

- Set the stage for your baking extravaganza by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. This is where the magic begins!
2. Unleash the Enchantment:
- Crumble the cookie dough into the classic batter bowl, a symbol of the magic about to unfold.
- Stir in the flour, molasses, and the trio of enchanting spices—cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Use the Mix N' Scraper for the perfect blend of flavors.
3. Shape the Magic:
- Divide the dough in half, and let the magic unfold on a floured surface.
- Roll out the dough to a magical thickness of 4 inches (6mm) with the Marble Rolling Pin.
- Dip the Rolling Cookie Cutter into flour and cut out as many magical shapes as your heart desires.
- Use the Mini Nylon Serving Spatula to transport these magical creations onto a Cookie Sheet.
4. Repeat the Spell:
- As any skilled magician would do, repeat the process with the remaining dough half.
- Collect the enchanted dough scraps, repeat the rolling and cutting, and watch the magic multiply.
5. Bake the Wonders:
- Slide your cookie concoctions into the enchanted oven and let them bake for 11-13 minutes or until they transform into a light golden brown.
- Remove the cookie sheet, let the wonders cool for 3 minutes on a Stackable Cooling Rack, and then use the spatula to transfer them to a Cooling Rack where the magic continues to unfold.
