GINGER GHOULS
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1 egg
1 cup molasses
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons warm water
1/4 cup raisins for decorating
Different color gel icing
Cream together shortening, sugar, egg and warm molasses. Dissolve baking
soda in warm water, and then add to the egg mixture. Next, add flour,
spices and salt, mix it all up until well blended. Cover and chill
overnight. Prepare a floured surface and get out the rolling pin and
cookie cutters. Cut out gingerbread men (or other Halloween like
shapes!) and place an inch or two apart on a greased cookie sheet. Use
raisins and cinnamon candies for eyes, buttons, etc. Then add gel icing
to make bloody legs, arms, and dripping eyeballs
