I make them throughout the year using a variety of cookie cutters. --Christy Thelan, Kellog, Iowa INGREDIENTS: 3/4 cup butter, softened 1 cup packed brown sugar 1 egg 3/4 cup molasses 4 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons ground ginger 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon salt Vanilla frosting of your choice Red and green paste food coloring DIRECTIONS: In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses. Combine the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight or until easy to handle. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are firm. Remove to wire racks to cool. Tint some of the frosting red and some green. Decorate cookies. Yield: 5 dozen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NUTRITIONAL FACTS: 1 cookie equals: 77 calories 2 g fat (1 g saturated fat) 10 mg cholesterol 69 mg sodium 13 g carbohydrate trace fiber 1 g protein ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TASTY TIP To have make-ahead cookies that taste and look fresh-baked, make your holiday cutout cookies ahead and freeze them without frosting.
