Gingerbread Persons

1 Cup Butter

1 ½ Cups brown sugar

3 T. Milk

3 Cups Flour

4 T. baking powder

1 t. ground cinnamon

½ t. salt

½ t. ground ginger

¼ t. ground cloves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in milk. Mix flour with baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves. Gradually add flour mixture into butter mixture. Form dough into a ball and on a floured table, roll dough 1/8 inch thick. (dough will be very soft, try not to over work it or it will be tough)

Cut the dough into people shapes and place on a buttered cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool and decorate if you wish.
