Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • frosting:
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk
  • food coloring and colored sprinkles , optional

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, ginger, salt and cloves; gradually add to creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
  2. Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-1/2-in. cookie cutters. Using a floured spatula, place cookies 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. With a straw, make a hole about 1/2 in. from the top of each cookie. Bake at 375° for 7-9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  3. In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, butter, vanilla and enough milk to achieve frosting consistency. Frost cookies. Decorate with tinted frosting and colored sprinkles if desired. Let dry completely. Thread ribbon or string through holes. Yield: about 4 dozen.
