Gingerbread Cookies

These have been a favorite at our house since my kids were little:



Gingerbread Cookies



2 c. flour 2 tsp. baking soda

1 c. brown sugar 1 tsp. cinnamon

1 c. margarine 1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 c. molasses 1 egg, unbeaten

1 Tbsp. ginger



Combine all ingredients and mix like pastry, using your hands. Roll out and cut into gingerbread men or other shapes. Bake at 350*F for 10-12 minutes. Cool, then decorate with butter icing.



~those little icing tubes-called scribblers here-work great for decorating these especially with kids!
