Linda Myers - this recipe comes from Great Aunt Minnie. A favorite of us all, it is a soft cookie and is better if it has aged a few days. Genevieve Enderes - makes great gingerbread men!

How To Make ginger cremes

Step 1

Refrigerate overnight. Divide dough into 3 parts.

Step 2

Using lots of flour, roll out about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes; sprinkle with sugar before baking.
Step 3

Bake at 350 degrees on a well greased cookie sheet for 15 minutes until slightly brown on edges but still soft by the fingertip test (touch lightly, if done it will spring right back).
