Instructions

Step 1

Combine all the dry ingredients and whisk together. Beat together the butter, sugar until fluffy. Add molasses and vanilla. Beat until well combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients and beat just until combined.

Step 2

Roll the dough into a large ball, cut in half, and flatten into 2 disks. Wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Or if you really are in a rush, pop in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 350F (150C)

Step 4

Roll out dough on a well-floured surface, to about 1/8 " thick. Cut out shapes, and transfer to a parchment lined cookie sheet. Add currants for eyes, and button where needed. Bake for 8-10 minutes until slightly puffed and set. If you like them chewy pull them out at 8 minutes, and leave longer if you prefer crispy. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool before packaging.
