Recipe Summary Gingerbread Boys And Girls
These cookies are formed by cookie cutters. By using a toothpick to make a hole in the top of the cookie, you can hang them on the tree. You can also make paint out of egg yolks, and food coloring to make them more colorful--use as much food coloring as needed to create desired hue. My girls and I would spend hours making these cookies each Christmas so we could hang them on the tree.Ingredients | Yakitori Boy Karaoke Song List⅓ cup shortening1 cup packed brown sugar1 ½ cups dark molasses⅔ cup cold water7 cups all-purpose flour2 teaspoons baking soda1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon ground allspice1 teaspoon ground ginger1 teaspoon crushed cloves (Optional)1 teaspoon ground cinnamon2 egg yolks10 drops food coloring½ teaspoon water¾ cup raisinsDirectionsMix shortening, brown sugar, and molasses thoroughly.
