Gingerbread men

This is a Christmas time favorite at our house!

1 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup molasses
1 TBS vinegar
1 egg
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
4 1/2-5 cups flour

In a large bowl cream butter and sugar; set aside.  In a small saucepan heat molasses to boiling.  Pour molasses over butter and sugar and add the vinegar.  Let cool.  Add egg.  Mix in sifted dry ingredients.  Chill for at least 1 hour.  Roll out on lightly floured board and cut as desired.  Bake on well-greased or parchment-lined cookie sheets for 8-10 minutes at 350
