  23. 1. **Preheat the Oven**
  24. - Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  25. - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
  26. 2. **Mix Dry Ingredients**
  27. - In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon of ground cloves, and ⅛ teaspoon of nutmeg.
  28. 3. **Combine Wet Ingredients**
  29. - In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted vegetable oil, beaten egg, molasses, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  30. 4. **Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients**

  32. 5. **Chill the Dough**
  33. - Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. This step helps prevent spreading during baking.
  34. 6. **Roll Out the Dough**
  35. - After chilling, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to stamp out shapes.
  36. 7. **Bake the Cookies**
  37. - Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are just firm but centers remain soft.
  38. 8. **Cool Before Decorating**
  39. - Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating with frosting, sprinkles, or other toppings of your choice.
  40. #### Tips for Perfect Gingerbread
  41. - For a richer flavor, use dark molasses.
  42. - Add extra spices like allspice or cardamom if you want to experiment with unique flavors.
  43. - Ensure dough is well chilled for best results.
  44. By following these steps, you'll be able to create delicious gingerbread cookies that will set the tone for a wonderful holiday celebration. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll guide you through making the gingerbread bowl and decorating tips!
