Directions:
In cup, stir baking soda into molasses and set aside until pale brown and frothy. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, ginger and salt until creamy. Beat in molasses mixture and egg. Gradually add 4 3/4 cups flour, beating just until blended. On lightly floured surface, knead dough until thoroughly mixed, kneading in remaining 1/4 cup flour if necessary. Divide dough in half, wrap half of dough with plastic wrap and set aside. On floured surface, roll remaining half of dough slightly thinner than 1/4 inch thick. Cut with gingerbread cookie cutter and place on ungreased cookie sheet 1/2 inch apart. Reroll trimmings and cut more cookies. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake at 375º for 8 to 10 minutes until edges begin to brown. Cool completely before frosting and decorating.
