Gingerbread Cookies
By Wendy Kennedy
These are softer than regular gingerbread cookies.
1 1/4 cups butter or
margarine
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
4 cups flour
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp
ginger
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cloves
1/2 cups molasses
Cream
margarine, eggs, molasses and sugar. Sift dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Add dry ingredients to liquid ingredients. Roll into balls and dip in sugar or
roll and cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters.
Bake 10 minutes
for round balls and 8 minutes for rolled cookies at 350F.
Let stand
before taking out of pan. Cookies will be soft but will harden as they cool.
