Spicy Gingerbread Men

 

 

Note: For best flavor, do NOT use blackstrap molasses.

 

 

Servings: 30

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup margarine

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup molasses

1 egg yolk

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

 

 

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until smooth. Stir in

molasses and egg yolk. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda,

cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and nutmeg; blend into the molasses mixture until

smooth. Cover, and chill for at least one hour.

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured

surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with

cookie cutters. Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm. Remove from

cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. Frost or decorate when cool.
