I am in love with these little gingerbread folk. These gingerbread cookies are wonderfully spiced with a mellow molasses flavor to carry them along, and crispy edges with a slightly soft center. I prefer to use mild molasses as I find that the full-flavored variety can overpower the ginger and other spices. To make the molasses easy to pour from the measuring cup, lightly coat it with cooking spray before adding the molasses.
