I love this dough because it’s very versatile. Roll it out and make holiday shapes or make gingerbread men. Decorate however you like.

- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg

- 1 1/4 Cups Sugar
- 1 Large Egg (Room Temperature)
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- Icing
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar

- 1/2 Teaspoon Almond Extract
- In medium-size bowl combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and kosher salt.
