Gingerbread Men

3/4 cup dark brown sugar

1 stick butter, softened

2 large eggs

1/4 cup molasses

2-3/4 cups flour

2 tsp ginger

1-1/2 tsp baking soda

3/4 tsp cinnamon

3/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp salt

Cream the sugar and butter, add the eggs and molasses. In separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients then mix into egg mixture. Remove the dough from the bowl and wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out dough to desired thickness (it can't be to thick or it won't cook right-at least a little less than 3/4 inch- if you like crunchy cookie make the dough thin) on floured surface. Cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters. Bake 10 or so minutes (until the edges start to slightly brown.

Yields (depends on cookie cutter size): 18-24 cookies.
