Gingerbread People by Deva Fournier

1 cup - brown sugar
1/3 cup - butter
1 1/2 cups - molasses
2/3 cup - cold water
7 cups - flour
2 tsp - baking soda
2 tsp - ginger
1 tsp - salt
1 tsp - allspice
1 tsp - cloves
1 tsp - cinnamon
Mix first 4 ingredients and refrigerate for 2 hours (if so inclined, I never bother anymore) then add everything else and mix/knead, adding a little more water if needed. Roll 1/4" thick. Cut and place on greased baking sheet. Bake 12ish minutes in 350 oven, or till there is no indentation when touched. When they are still hot you can brush with corn syrup if desired and/or cool and decorate.
