    Title: Holiday Gingerbread Cookies
    Categories: Cookies, Christmas
    Yield: 24 Cookies

    3/4 c Molasses, light or dark
    3/4 c Margarine (1-1/2 sticks)
    3/4 c Sugar, brown firmly packed
    3 2/3 c Flour, all-purpose
    2 ts Ginger, ground
    2 ts Cinnamon, ground
    1 ts Baking Powder
    1/2 ts Baking Soda
    1/2 ts Nutmeg, ground
    1 Egg
    Icing and assorted candies

    In 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat molasses, margarine and
    brown sugar until mixture boils, stirring occasionally to blend well.
    Remove from heat; cool. In large bowl, combine flour, ginger,
    cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and nutmeg. Blend egg into
    molasses mixture. With spoon, stir molasses mixture into flour
    mixture until smooth. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; chill at least 1
    hour.

    Heat oven to 350F. Divide dough in half. On floured surface, roll
    dough to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with floured 5 x 3-inch
    gingerbread cookie cutter (or knife your own design). Carefully lift
    with metal spatula onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to
    14 minutes or until no indentation remains when touched. Remove from
    sheet; cool on wire rack. Decorate as desired with icing and candies.
    Store in tightly covered container for up to 2 weeks.
