2. In a large bowl, blend together butter, brown sugar and egg until smooth.

3. Add molasses (careful it’s sticky!) and vanilla and blend some more.

4. Slowly add your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients. (If too sticky, add more flour.)

6. Once dough is ready, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

8. Roll dough out to a little over a quarter of an inch thick. Be sure to flour your workspace!

9. Use an angel cookie cutter to cut out cookies.

11. Bake cookies for 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.

12. Time to decorate! Mix a drop of green food coloring into vanilla icing to get his skin color. Frost his face and use the black gel icing or chocolate chips to make his eyes. You can also sprinkle some gold luster dust for his robe.
