Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Cream shortening & sugar till light & fluffy.
Step #2 Stir in egg, molasses & vinegar; beat well.
Step #3 Add dry ingredients.
Step #4 Chill thoroughly; about 3 hrs.
Step #5 On lightly floured surface, roll to 1/4" thick (no thinner) & cut with cutter.
Step #6 Place on lightly greased sheet.
Step #7 Add raisins or currants for eyes,nose, & buttons.
Step #8 Bake 375 degrees for 8-10 mins, depending on size of the men.
Step #9 Cool & remove.
Step #10 NOTE: If you use a small to medium cutter, you will get a lot of little guys; but if the cutter is large it will be about 1 1/2 dozen (approximately)--I like to use the small to medium because you get more to give away at Christmas.
