Gingerbread cookies

Another fabulous recipe from the kitchen of Lori Guerrero (Megan's MIL) who is queen bee of cookie recipes in Houston. This is a great gingerbread dough that can be shaped whatever way you want for houses or people. Enjoy!!

  • 1 c. Shortening
  • 1 c. Sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 c. Molasses
  • 2 Tbsp vinegar
  • 4 1/2 c. flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 Tbsp ginger
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp cloves



Cream Shortening and sugar; add egg, molasses, and vinegar. Sift together dry ingredients and spices, then add to creamed mixture. Chill 2-3 hours (or throw it in the freezer for a bit)


Roll out and bake at 375* for 5-6 minutes or longer if you are doing large house pieces...
