#1937 - Gingerbread Men Cookies

(by Shirley McNevich)

3 cups flour
2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup softened butter
3/4 cup Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup Brer Rabbit green label molasses
1 egg

In a mixer add brown sugar and butter--beat. Add egg--beat. Add molasses--beat. Add salt, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger--beat. Slowly add flour--beat (continue mixing with a wooden spoon if batter is too stiff for the mixer). Refrigerate dough overnight. The next day roll out 1/2 of the dough on a floured counter (1/4" thick). Use gingerbread men cookie cutters to cut cookies. Place cookies on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Continue with remaining dough. Cool completely. Frost as desired.
