CAKES AND COOKIES
GINGERSNAPS (#1, #2, #3)
Ginger Snaps #1
Take 7 cups flour, 1 cup sugar, 2 cups molasses, 1 cup butter, 1 egg, 1 tablespoonful good vinegar, 1 teaspoonful soda, and 1 teaspoonful ginger. If the ingredients are cold, it may seem hard to mix in the full amount of flour, but it should be in if possible. These, if properly baked, very much resemble those in the bakeries.
Sister Kittie Neher, Palestine, Ark.
Ginger Snaps #2
Take 2 cups of molasses, 3 tablespoonfuls of melted lard, 1 tablespoonful of soda dissolved in 2 tablespoonfuls of warm water, 1 tablespoonful of ginger, 1 tablespoonful of cloves, and flour to make a stiff dough.
