Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating until blended. Add egg, beating until blended. Add molasses, beating well. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients; gradually add to molasses mixture, beating until blended. Cover and chill dough 2 hours.
  2. Roll half of dough to 1/4 thickness on a floured surface. Cut Gingerbread Men with a 3 cookie cutter. Place on greased cookie sheets. Add excess dough to remaining half of dough; wrap in wax paper, and chill. Press currants, cinnamon candy halves, and fruit-flavored candy pieces into cookies for eyes, mouth, and buttons. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove cookies to wire racks; let cool completely. Repeat procedure with remaining dough.
  3. Note: For chewy fruit-flavored pieces, we used Skittles.
