Baked in the traditional way with all organic ingredients. This recipe probably came from my great-grandmother. It was in my old cookbook that belonged to my Nanna.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
- 2
Beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl. I find an electric mixer makes this part easier. Mix until it is light and fluffy.
- 3
Add molasses and egg. Beat well.
- 4
Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed (electric mixer) until well mixed.
- 5
Press dough into a thick, flat disc. Wrap in wax paper. Place in refrigerator overnight. I find rolling out the dough before chilling makes it easier on you the next day.
- 6
Next day: Preheat oven to 350.
- 7
Roll dough into 1\4 inch thick on floured wax paper. Cut out gingerbread men with a cookie cutter.
- 8
Place gingerbread men on greased cookie sheet and bake in oven for 8-10minutes. Look for the edges of the cookies to just start to turn brown. Then, you know they are done.
- 9
Let cookies cool for about 5 minutes. Then, decorate as desired with icing, gumdrops, candy, etc.

White Gingerbread Cookies White Gingerbread Cookies
I found this recipe on a blog called food.com. It was submitted by Heather Sullivan. However, the measurements were in metric so I had to convert it. In that process I got a much sticker dough than I could roll out. So I settled for a ginger drop cookie.

These smells bring us a little closer to Christmas. I had wanted to make these cookies for a long time and taking advantage of the fact that I had a dinner with some friends, I made them to give them as gifts. I have made holes in the top so that they can be hung from the Christmas tree too
