Set aside.<\/p>\n<p>In another large bowl, cream the butter, add sugar, and mix. Add the molasses and egg and beat until smooth.<\/p>\n<p>With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the smooth a little at a time. Scrape the sides of the bowl and beat until fully combined and thick.<\/p>\n<p>Divide and pat the dough into two balls, then flatten. Chill in an airtight container in the fridge for at least 1\u00bd hours.<\/p>\n<p>Preheat oven to 350\u00b0. Prepare baking sheets lined with parchment paper.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to roll the dough out to \u00bc\u201d in thickness. Put flour underneath the dough and <u>lightly<\/u> on top as you roll it out.<\/p>\n<p>Use a cutter or place the Gingerbread House Pattern on the dough and trace around it with a toothpick. Then remove the pattern and use a knife to cut along the lines.<\/p>\n<p>Pick it up with a metal spatula and put it on the cookie sheet\u2019s paper. If needed, pick up any edges and stretch them back in place.<\/p>\n<p>Use your knife and fingers to mold every corner exactly how you\u2019d like it. Make sure edges are straight and the roof corners equal. (Because it\u2019s such a soft dough \u2013 it will need tweaking.) Before reworking any remaining dough, brush flour off the bottoms of the cuttings.<\/p>\n<p>Bake for 9 minutes. Slide the cookies\/paper off the sheet. Let them cool completely.<\/p>\n<p>Mix Lick it Off the Cookie Frosting ingredients together to spread on the cookie, then decorate. Makes 9 (large) to 12 (medium) cookies. So you may want to double it.
