Gingerbread Bears
1 C butter
1 C brown sugar
1 C molasses
2 eggs
1 1/2 t salt
4 t cinnamon
4 t ginger
1 t allspice
1 1/2 t ground cloves
1/2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
5 C flour
Cream the butter and brown sugar together, add the molasses and eggs, mix well. Add the spices, baking powder and soda. Add the flour 1 cup at a time until well blended. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Roll 1/4" on lightly floured board, cut out in desired shapes - I did bears. Bake 350 for 8-10 min.
I use meringue powder to make royal icing for decorating.
Very gingery, dark cookies - Al loves them!
Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.
