Ginger Cookies Recipe

3 lbs. flour

1 lb. butter and lard mixed

1 lb. brown sugar

1 pint molasses

1 good sized teaspoon of soda or 2 level ones.



Add ginger to taste--about 4 level teaspoons, also lemon extract or

grated rind and juice if preferred.



Put flour, sugar and butter together and rub thoroughly. Make hole in

center and pour in the molasses in which the soda has been beaten in.

Stir all well together, break off enough to roll out; cut, space in pan

and bake in very moderate oven.



These keep well, especially in stone crock. This recipe makes a quantity

if cut with small cutter.
