    Ingredients

    For Cookies

    • 3 cups flour
    • 2 tsp ground ginger
    • 1 tsp cinnamon
    • 1 tsp baking soda
    • 1/4 tsp cloves
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 3/4 cup butter (room temperature)
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
    • 1 egg (room temperature)
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup molasses

    For Icing

    • 1/8 cup Ale-8-One®
    • 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar

    Instructions

    1. In a large bowl, combine flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, cloves, and salt. Using the paddle attachment on a stand or hand mixer, cream the room temperature butter and brown sugar until just mixed. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses, and mix again. Gradually add the flour mixture while mixing on a low setting until dough forms. For best results, cover with plastic wrap and chill for 2-4 hours.
    2. Thirty minutes before removing from the refrigerator, make decorating icing by combining and whisking Ale-8-One and confectioners’ sugar.
    3. Preheat the oven to 350º F and roll dough to approximately 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out gingerbread bottles with a cookie cutter and carefully transfer to a baking sheet. Bake cookies for 10 minutes and allow to cool to room temperature.
    4. Decorate with Ale-8-One Icing and enjoy!
