Method 7 steps
Combine melted butter, molasses, sugar, and spices.
Add flour, mixing in 1 cup at a time up to 10 cups, working first with a fork, then by hand. Add another 1–2 cups flour just until the dough holds together.
Chill dough at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Roll the dough out as thin as possible, and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
Transfer cookie cutouts to a pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Let cool on a rack.
