Preparation

Step 1

Cream shortening and sugar together. Beat in eggs, add molasses and sifted dry ingredients. Chill. Roll out and cut with cookie cutters.

Bake at 375 deg. for 8 - 10 minutes.

Do not overbake. They will puff up and as soon as they flatten out they should be taken out of the oven. Do not let brown on edges.
