1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 tsp ground ginger

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Add milk, molasses, and vanilla until well-combined.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
Make sure your butter and molasses are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
Don't overmix the dough, or your cookies will be tough.
Chill the dough for at least 2 hours before baking. This will help them to hold their shape in the oven.
Bake the cookies until they are just set, but not overbaked. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely before you decorate them.

These egg-free gingerbread cookies are a delicious and festive treat perfect for the holiday season. They are easy to make and can be decorated in any way you like. These cookies are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
