 Gingerbread
cookies are a fun family activity during the holiday season. All
you need to get started are some gingerbread people cookie
cutters and your imagination.You can make your own frosting. I like to buy different colored frosting in tubes that come with the different tips ready to attach and frost. It's a lot less work and mess, and you can use them over and over again. Use a variety of candies to decorate, like raisins, s, gum drops, etc. As you can see from the picture, mine are nothing fancy, but still cute and fun to make. Ingredients 1/2 c. sugar 1/2 c. shortening 1 egg 1/2 c. light molasses 2 1/4 c. flour 4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. all spice Cream sugar and shortening. Add egg and molasses; blend. Mix in dry ingredients. Chill dough for 1 hour. Roll out dough to 1/8 in. thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 9 minutes.
