When Ginger Snaps

January


3/4 c. shortening
1/2 c. molasses
1 egg
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 t. baking soda
1/2 t. ginger
1/4 t. salt
1/2 t. pumpkin pie spice
3/4 c. sugar

Cream shortening and sugar. Add molasses and egg and beat until well mixed. Combine dry ingredients, stir into creamed mixture. Chill as long as it takes you to sit down and watch a movie. Shape into 1" balls and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet, 12 minutes at 350*. Makes 4 dozen

Everything I have to live
for here
Lies in bed asleep.
Another day of joy
has passed..
Another space of time to keep
Baby quail
