Ingredients | Ginger And Colon Health

⅓ cup shortening

½ cup white sugar

1 egg

½ cup molasses

½ cup water

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground cloves

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ tablespoons cream

Directions

Mix shortening, white sugar, egg, molasses, and water thoroughly. Sift together flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, baking soda, and spices and blend in. Chill dough until firm.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).

Drop dough by teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake about 8 minutes, or until almost no imprint remains when touched lightly. While slightly warm, frost with icing.

To Make Frosting: Blend confectioners' sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Add cream to make icing easy to spread. Spread on cookies with spatula or pastry brush.
