Gingerbread Cookies
Holiday time is almost here (wow). This generous recipe makes plenty of cookies for parties or as gifts.
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup dark molasses
1 teaspoon ginger
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cup butter or margarine
1 egg
5 cups sifted flour
Oven: 325 degrees
Heat the sugar, molasses and spices to the boiling point. Stir in baking soda. Pour mixture over butter in a bowl. Stir until butter melts. Beat in the egg, then add the sifted flour and blend thoroughly. Turn out on a board and knead until well-blended. Roll out on cookie sheets and cut with Christmas-style cookie cutters. Bake until firm, about 8-10 minutes. Remove to racks to cool. Decorate if desired with confectioner's icing or colored sugar. Makes about 9 dozen cookies.
