I frosted it differently this time. I made a 7 minute frosting but instead of sugar I used Grade B Amber pure maple syrup. It is sooooooo good and sooooo pretty.

Ginger Cookies Makes about 6 dozen small cookies
3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup light molasses
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
Extra sugar, for rolling cookies in
Cream butter and sugar. Mix in egg and molasses. Sift remaining ingredients together, and add to butter mixture. Mix until just incorporated.
Drop onto four sheets of waxed paper, and roll into skinny logs. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours (or freeze for longer storage).
Preheat oven to 350º (335º convect). Cut dough into 1/4” slices. Roll slices in extra sugar, and bake on lightly greased cookie sheet 8 to 10 minutes (or about 6 minutes for chewy cookies.)
Let cookies rest on sheets for about 2 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.
