Halloween recipesGINGERBREAD CORPSES

Who wouldn't love biting the head off a little gingerbread man?? It's a perfect cookie for Halloween trick-or-treaters or for anytime you feel like being an aggressive eater!

You can also modify this recipe to use sugar cookie dough and make them into mummies, vampires, Frankenstein's monster or anything your twisted little heart desires!

But I'm going with the dead gingerbread men!

INGREDIENTS
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

DIRECTIONS
1 In large bowl, cream shortening, sugar, egg and warmed molasses. Dissolve baking soda in warm water and add to egg mixture. Beat until smooth.

2 Slowly add flour, spices and salt. Mix until well blended.

3 Cover and chill for 24 hours.

4 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets.

5 Roll out dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch on a floured surface. Cut out gingerbread men using cookie cutters and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks.

6 Use black icing to make an "X" where the eyes should be, you can also make a frown for a mouth using the icing.
