Gingerbread Crisp Cutouts
My grandsons started cooking by helping their grandpa mix up waffle and pancake batter. They also liked to make these nicely spiced cookies, which are fun to decorate with raisins and candies.—Shelia Hanauer, Reidsville, North Carolina
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup sugar
