- Sift dry ingredients together in bowl
- Add cooled molasses mixture to dry ingredients
- Mix well
- Add choice either lemon or orange rind

- Chill dough for 2 hours
- On floured board roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness
- Cut out gingerbread men (may use small cutters or larger cutters)
- Place 1/2 inch apart on *greased* cookie sheet
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 8-10 minutes
