    Recipe Introduction


    " Spicy gingerbread men. This is the only recipe we have ever used. For best flavor, do NOT use blackstrap molasses. "

    Eileen's Spicy Gingerbread Men
    Makes 2-1/2 dozen

    1/2 cup margarine
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 cup molasses
    1 egg yolk
    2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
