Ingredients:

Serving

112 cup. molasses ( reg. or unsulphured)
1 cup. brown sugar ,firmly packed
2/3 cup cold water
1/3 cup veg. shortening
7 cup. all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground allspice
2 tsp. powdered ginger
1/2tsp ground cloves
1 tsp. 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.
