List of Ingredients




1/4 c. shortening
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1/3 c. molasses
2 c. flour
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/3 c. water

---Frosting---

1 1/2 oz. cream cheese, soft
3 T. butter, soft
1 c. plus 3 T. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1-2 tsp. lemon juice


Recipe



In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugar. Beat in egg and molasses. Combine the dry ingredients and gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with water (dough will be soft). Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls 2" apart on greased cookie sheet. (I don't do that, I use parchment paper and no grease). Bake at 400 for 7-8 minutes or til tops are cracked. Cool.
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar til light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and enough lemon juice to achieve spreading consistancy. Frost cooled cookies.

Makes about 4 dozen.

Store in frige.
