Ingredients

1 cup salted butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract, room temperature
2 tablespoons molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and the sugar until well combined – about 2 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses. Beat into the butter and sugar mixture until completely incorporated.
Add the flour and spices. Beat in until just combined.
Load the cookie dough into a cookie press which has been fitted with a disc of your choosing.
Press the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake for 8 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow the cookies to cool slightly on the baking sheet for 2 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

If you prefer to bake various colours, separate the dough into separate bowls and add a couple of drops of liquid food colouring to each bowl. Mix the colouring into the dough with a spatula until the colour is consistent throughout.
