- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 Tbsp. ground ginger
- 1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
- dash ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsulfured molasses

- In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and spices.
- Set aside.
- Cream the butter.
- Add sugar and beat until fluffy.
- Mix in eggs and molasses.
- Gradually add the flour mixture (You may need to work it with your hands to incorporate the last bit of flour.)
- Divide dough in thirds; wrap each third in plastic.
- Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Before rolling out, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.
- Heat oven to 350.
- Place a dough third on a large piece of lightly floured parchment paper or wax paper.
- Using a rolling pin, roll dough 1/8 inch thick.
- Refrigerate again for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to cut out the cookies.
- Use a four-inch gingerbread man cookie cutter to cut the dough.
- With a small plastic drinking straw (1/4 inch diameter) poke holes in half of the cookies where the buttons and eyes are commonly found on a gingerbread cookie.
- Transfer to ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake until crisp but not darkened, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Remove from oven.
- Let sit a few minutes and then use a metal spatula to transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Spread the marshmallow creme on the backs of the cookies with the holes in them, making sure the creme gets into the button and eye holes.
- Make a sandwich by placing the cookies with the holes in them on top of the cookies without.
- Enjoy!
