Ingredients

1/2 c sugar

1/2 c molasses (mild)

1/4 c shortening (not butter-flavoured)

1/4 c butter

1 egg, beaten

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp allspice

3/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cloves

1/4 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 tsp shredded orange peel

2 1/2 c flour

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

Directions

In a medium saucepan combine the sugar, molasses, shortening, and butter then bring to a boil. Reduce heat.

Cook and stir constantly for another 2 minutes.

Remove from the heat and cool for about 45 minutes.

To this add the egg, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, orange peel, salt, baking soda, cardamom and cloves and stir until well mixed.

Add the flour, one-third at a time, stirring well after each addition to form into a dough.

Divide the dough in half, form into two discs then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm enough to roll.

Roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness and cut into gingerbread people or whatever shape you desire.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 4-5 minutes or until the edges are browned slightly. Cool.

Ice, if you like, with a powdered sugar icing.

Makes about 4 dozen depending on size of cutters.

We usually get these store-bought for Christmas Eve - now I can make them myself! Thanks!

Wow! This has been mentioned on the soap ATWT in recent months and I thought it would be a dinner meal by the name ha! I am not a baker but I might try to make these. I don't like Ginger Snaps as someone compared them to but others say these are really delicious! Wish me luck! Thanks!
