Ingredients

112 c. molasses(reg. or unsulphured)

1c. brown sugar,firmly packed

2/3c cold water

1/3c veg. shortening

7c. all purpose flour

2t. baking soda

1t. salt

1t. ground allspice

2t.powdered ginger

1/2t ground cloves

1t. ground cinnamon

Directions

Mix molasses,brown sugar,water and shortening together in a large bowl until well blended(mixer works best for this step). In a separate bowl,sift flour,baking soda,salt and spices. Gradually add dry ingredients to molasses mixture

The dough will be stiff,so you may find it easier to mix by hand. Form into a ball,cover and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 359

Roll the dough to 1/8" thickness on a floured surface. Cut out the dough with your favorite cookie cutters. Bake for 8-9 mins.(8 for smaller cookies,9 for larger). Let cool before icing.

To prepare icing; sift the powdered sugar into a bowl and add enough water to form a nice frosting consistency.
