Nothing is more holiday than Gingerbread Cookies! Since we are kicking off the holiday season, I though Gingerbread cookies were the perfect recipe to share. 
Printable Recipe

The ingredients you will need are: flour, sugar, crisco, nutmeg, baking soda, allspice, ground ginger, molasses and salt. 
Picture
Every good cookie starts off with shortening
Picture
Add in your sugar
Picture
Cream together shortening and sugar
Picture
When measuring molasses I like to spray the cup with nonstick spray. Add in molasses
Picture
Add in water
Picture
Add in Flour
Picture

Next is salt
Picture
Now for baking soda
Picture
Now nutmeg
Picture
And the ginger
Picture
Because I didn't have allspice, I mixed together a little nutmeg, ground cloves and cinnamon. You can always leave it out too. It's only 1/8 tsp. 
Picture
Mix all ingredients together until combined. 
Picture
Shape dough into a disk and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. 
Picture
Pick out your favorite cookie cutters! I'm in the Christmas spirit so I went fairly traditional.
Picture
Generously flour your surface
Picture
Roll out your dough

Once the cookies have cooled, you can decorate with icing or enjoy without! I chose to decorate simply because that's all I know how to do. LOL
