Sift flour, spices, salt and white sugar together

Heat molasses to boiling point and remove from heat

Add dairy free margarine and brown sugar

Stir until butter melts

Add baking soda and stir well

Pour over flour-spice mixture, stirring well

Add egg and knead until dough holds together

Chill slightly (it's okay to leave it over night, but put it in a sealed Tupperware type container so the dough does not dry out)

Roll dough to desired thickness and cut with your favorite cookie cutters

Place cookies 2 inches apart on lightly floured pan, bake 8-10 minutes at 350'F

Remove cookies from pan as soon as baked

Let cool before icing - can also be eaten without icing

Yield – depends on the size of your cookie cutter(s)!
