1. Cream 1st three ingredients.
2. Mix in beaten egg.
3. Stir in remaining ingedients throughly
(dough will seem dry at first...It will improve the longer it is mixed).
4. Wrap and chill the dough in waxed paper
for at least 1 hour...maybe leave chilled for several days.
When you are ready to make the cookies:
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Roll out the dough between two pieces of waxed paper, using a little flour
sprinkled between the paper and dough if stickiness is a problem.
3. Roll out to 1/4 inch thick and cut cookies/
gingerbread men out.
4. Place on ungreased cookie sheets
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
