Cookie cutters

- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cookies
Cream together margarine, sugar, salt, egg, and molasses. Then add in cinnamon, cloves, ginger, baking soda, and flour.
If dough if too sticky chill for about 30 minutes.
Mix all together. Roll out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut with a cookie cutter shape. I used a 3 1/2 inch tall little gingerbread man cookie cutter.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 8 to 9 minutes. Cool for a few minutes on cookie sheet and then place on a cooling rack.
Frost when cooled.
Frosting
Mix butter, cream cheese, vanilla and 1 teaspoon milk with a hand mixer. Gradually add in powdered sugar.
If too runny add more powdered sugar, if too thick add a little more milk.
Pipe icing onto cooled cookies like mummy wraps. Stick on eyes with a little dot of frosting on the back of each eyeball.
