Soft Molasses Cookies

This is an old recipe that was used in Louisiana during World War II when sugar was rationed.

3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 cup molasses
2 tablespoons warm water
1 egg, beaten

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and salt. In another bowl, combine shortening, molasses, water and egg. Add shortening mixture to flour mixture; mix thoroughly. Let stand about 10 minutes.

Roll out dough on a floured surface. Cut with a cookie cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 400 degrees F about 15 minutes, or until done.
