Gingerbread Men
"This recipe for gingerbread cookies is my favorite, and it's one you can adapt to your own taste. By using light or dark molasses and brown sugar, you can alter the color of the cookies. You can also adjust the spiciness by altering the amount of ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg...."
