Directions: |
Directions:Cream butter or margarine with sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in grated rind and spices. Bring corn syrup or molasses to a boil and stir into butter mixture until thoroughly blended. Beat in eggs. Sift 4 cups flour with salt and baking soda. Add to mixture and stir well. Use as much remaining flour as necessary to obtain a dough smooth enough to roll, but one that is still very soft and pliable. Roll in waxed paper and chill one hour.
Roll out dough to a 1/4 inch thickness on a floured pastry board. Using a gingerbreat man cookie cutter, cut out cookies in any size you want. Bake in moderate oven (350º F) for 15 minutes or until cookies are an even golden brown.
