2 3/4 c. sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. powdered cloves
1 egg
2/3 c. molasses
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. melted shortening
Seedless raisins

Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Beat egg. Add molasses, sugar, melted shortening. Add flour mixture; mixing well. Wrap in wax paper and chill. Roll out to 1/8 inch thickness on lightly floured board. Cut out doll shapes with cookie cutter. Mark eyes, nose, mouth and buttons with raisins.

Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes. If you do not have a doll cutter, form dough into balls for heads and bodies and make rolled pieces for arms and legs. Put doll pieces together, then roll flat with rolling pin, pressing edge together. Makes about 18 (4 inch) dolls.
