CAKES AND COOKIES
FROSTED CREAMS #3
To make extra good cookies, take 1 egg, 1 cup of molasses, 7 tablespoonfuls of lard, 6 tablespoonfuls of water, I tablespoonful of ginger, 1 teaspoonful of soda, and flour enough to roll. Leave dough 1/2 inch thick. Bake on the bottom of a large bread pan.
After it is baked, put on frosting which is made as follows: 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Boil till it hairs. Pour in beaten white of egg and beat till it hardens. After the frosting is on, cut in squares the size you like.
