Again another one of my Grandma Clark's recipes our family LOVES. It is at almost every family gathering. I have used 'store bought' icing before and it works OK but I prefer to make my own powdered sugar icing. This is a LARGE recipe and my servings are a guess as my family eats the cookies before I can count. I often half this recipe to make a more manageable number of cookies. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1 cup lard or 1 cup shortening |
1/2 cup molasses |
1 cup hot water |
1 egg |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon ginger |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
4 cups flour |
2 cups powdered sugar |
1 -2 tablespoon milk |
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients together.
2. Drop from a spoon onto pan.
3. Bake at 350 F until lightly browned at edges (I believe 8-10 minutes but WATCH).
4. Remove to wire cooling rack (if needed let sit on pan 1-2 minutes).
5. Ice while hot/warm with powdered sugar icing.
