Deb Eagles' "Fool"-Proof Gingerbreadmen

 

1 cup butter *4-5 cups flour
1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup molasses 2 teaspoons ginger
1 Tablespoon vinegar 2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 egg 1/2 teaspoons cloves
**1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 tsp. salt

 

Put butter and sugar in large mixing bowl. Heat molasses to boiling and pour over them. Add vinegar and blend. When cool add egg. Add sifted dry ingredients and mix well. Chill the batch. Roll out to 1/8 inch. Bake at 350° for about 9 minutes. (Makes 6 dozen with 3" gingerbread man cutter.)

* I always need 5 cups of flour!

** This spice is optional and kind of pricey. But, I think it's a must!
