Gingerbread Men Ingredients
3/4 cup of light (or dark brown) sugar
1.2 cup of softened butter (or margarine)
2 eggs
1/4 cup of molasses
3 1/4 cups of self-rising flour
2 teaspoons of ginger
1/2 teaspoon each of allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt
Directions
In a bowl, combine the sugar and butter. Blend well.
Add in the eggs, molasses and remaining ingredients. Mix well to form a dough.
Cover and chill the dough for one hour.
Next, you will dust some flour on top of your kitchen countertop (or rolling board).
Roll the dough until it is 1/8 - inch thick.
Cut into shapes and place each gingerbread piece on a lightly greased cookie-baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes in a pre-heated oven of 350 degrees.
Cool the cookies and decorate them with frosting (if you wish).
