CAKES AND COOKIES
FROSTED CREAMS #2
Take 2 cups of molasses, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 pint of shortening, 1/2 teacupful of water, 1 tablespoonful of soda, 2 tablespoonfuls of cinnamon, yolks of 3 eggs and the white of 1 egg. Knead in flour to roll out easily, and cut in squares the size of soda crackers. Bake in a quick oven.
Frosting: Take 1 1/3 cups of white sugar dissolved in 4 tablespoonfuls of water, and boil until it threads. Pour it over the beaten whites of the 2 eggs, and beat until smooth. Season with vanilla, and spread on each square with a knife.
