 So here it is our version of the Gingerbread Man! With eight children running our homestead we have a little creativity in everything we do. Our three year old son loves the story The Gingerbread Man, so away to the kitchen I went to bake him some Ginger cookies when I realized I was all out of Molasses. So I improvised and now these are a family favorite. The dough can be a little tricky if not worked properly but its well worth the smiles.
You'll need: 1 cup of lard 2 cups of peanut butter 1 cup white sugar 1 cup packed brown sugar 2 eggs 2 1/2 Cups sifted flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt In a large mixing bowl cream top five ingredients until you do not see any lard and set a side. In a medium mixing bowl sift together final four ingredients, once mixed stir dry ingredients into creamed ingredient. kneed dough with hands and roll with a wooden rolling pin. Cut cookies 1" thick and place on lined baking sheet. Place in pre-heated oven at 375 F for 12-14 minutes or until crispy brown. Remove from oven let sit 2 minutes then transfer to cooling rack.
