Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons shortening
2 tablespoons brown sugar
⅓ cup molasses
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 dash ground allspice

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening, brown sugar and molasses until smooth. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and allspice; blend into the creamed mixture. Work dough with hands until well blended. Cover and chill for about 4 hours. Dough must be thoroughly chilled to hold together.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll out dough paper thin a little at a time. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters. Place on greased baking sheets.
  • Bake 5 to 6 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
