CAKES AND COOKIES

GINGER COOKIES
 

 Take 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of molasses, 1 tablespoonful of ginger, 3 eggs, 2 teaspoonfuls of soda dissolved in 1 cup of buttermilk. Beat well together the sugar and butter. Then put in molasses and ginger, thoroughly mixing them. Then put in the eggs after they have been well beaten. Put in the milk. Use enough flour to make a dough as soft as you can easily work. Roll about 1/6 inch thick and bake in a quick oven. The softer you keep the dough, the better the cookies will be.
