Awesome Gingerbread Men
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. light molasses
1/2 C. butter, softened
1 large egg
2-1/2 unsifted flour
1-1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
raisins, optional
prepared frosting, optional

In a large bowl, beat first 4 ingredients until fluffy.  Stir in next 6 ingredients until smooth.  Wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.  

Heat oven to 350*F.  Between sheets of waxed papere, roll out dough 1/8" thick.  With a 6" cutter, cut out gingerbread men.  Re-roll and cut more.  decorate with raisins if desired.

Bake 12-15 minutes (in my oven that would be 8 to 10 minutes), until centers are firm and edges have started to brown.  Cool and decorate with frosting if desired.

Yield:  12 to 14 cookies  ( I always make a doubled batch, they are so Good!)

Enjoy!
