Gingerbread cookies--sister's




  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.
