Ingredients:

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup molasses
1 tsp vanilla extract
Assorted candies for decorating
1 Loungefly backpack

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the molasses and vanilla.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Divide the dough into two equal parts and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll out one piece of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Using the Loungefly backpack as a template, cut out the front and back pieces of the backpack.
Place the pieces on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
Repeat with the remaining dough, cutting out the side and bottom pieces of the backpack.
Let the pieces cool completely on wire racks.
Assemble the backpack by using royal icing as glue to attach the pieces together. Decorate with assorted candies.
