Here is how you make Gingerbread men:

Simmer molasses & Crisco for 2-5 minues (do NOT scorch); set asie. Cream sugar, egg, and vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water and add to creamed mixture; stir. Blend cloves, cinnaon, salt, and ginger with creamed mixture. Add molasses mixture. Beat in flour. Roll thick and cut while hot. Bake at 375 for 5-10 minutes, depending on cookie size. Immediately dip completely in glaze (this is what keeps the cookies moist and delicious, but you can cut about 1/3 of the calories if you leave it out).
