Dear Readers:
What follows is a "recipe repurposing" using one of my veryveryvery favorite recipes from my childhood: Sherry's Famous Gingerbread Cookies! They are great at Christmas, but I think these cookies would be just as awesome served throughout the Autumn months -- especially for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Get out your cookie cutters and get creative with the icing!

1 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar

1 pinch salt
5 & 3/4 cups flour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
