The odd thing about these is there is no ginger in the recipe! But my guys love them and they are easy to make.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup solid shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of allspice (or you could sub cloves)
1 & 1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 beaten egg
3/4 cup molasses (I prefer Grandma's unsulphured molasses---makes a difference)
3 cups of plain flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
Form the dough and chill 2 hours.Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Roll dough out 1/4 inch thick. Cut shapes out. Bake 5-6 minutes or 8-10 minutes---watch carefully as it depends on how thick you have rolled it. My guys prefer them not over cooked.
