Gingerbread cookies are a fun family activity during
the holiday season. All you need to get started are some gingerbread
people cookie cutters and your imagination.
You can make your own frosting. I like to buy different colored
frosting in tubes that come with the different tips ready to attach and
frost. It's a lot less work and mess, and you can use them over and
over again.
Use a variety of candies to decorate, like raisins, red hots, gum drops,
etc. Mine are nothing fancy, but still cute and fun to make.
Ingredients:
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. shortening
1 egg
1/2 c. light molasses
2 1/4 c. flour
