This is our favorite Holiday Cookie. It is from the great grandma of our friend from college.
2/3 cup shortning
1 cup sugar
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup black molasses
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp cloves
Cream shortning and sugar. Add egg and molasses and beat well. Add sifted dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Roll 1/8 inch thick. Cut out in holiday shapes. Bake at 350 for 10 min. These are supposed to be soft and chewy, so f they are hard you are cooking them too long. Frost and decorate with your favorite frosting. Mark likes cream cheese, I like vanilla.
