Layton and I love Gingerbread... this recipe is so good and it makes your house smell wonderful!
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup molasses
2 T vinegar
5 Cups Flour
1 1/2 t soda
1/2 t salt
2 1/2 t ginger
1 t cinnamon
1 t cloves
Cream shortening with sugar. Add egg, molasses and vinegar. Beat well. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Chill 3 hours. Roll out on lightly floured board and cut with your favorite gingerbread boy. Place on greased cookie sheet, or use parchment paper. Bake at 375 for 5-6 minutes. Cool lightly and remove to a rack and cool. Decorate with confectioners icing! Note: I mix confectioners sugar with a little bit of water, you want it thick, put in a ziploc bag and cut a very small hole in the bottom corner of the bag!
