Grandmom's Gingies (gingerbread Cookies) image

Everyone loves these gingerbread cookies that my grandmother makes, and now I also bake for our christmas cookie trays. They have a nice taste to them and don't get too hard like other recipes (that is, if you roll them out thick enough!)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups dark molasses
2/3 cup cold water
6 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon clove
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • MIX shortening, brown sugar, and molasses thoroughly.

  • MEASURE flour by dip-level method.
  • BLEND all dry ingredients.
  • STIR in and chill.
  • ROLL 1/2 inch thick
  • Cut with 2-1/2 inch round cutter.
  • Place far apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until to imprint remains when touched lightly.
  • Frost with any buttercream frosting of your choice. We use the one on the back of the 10x sugar (some of you may know what I am talking about!).
  • I am not sure to how many gingies this yields because I used a different cookie cutter, however, this recipes makes A LOT.
