Ok, so this doesnt actually have anything to do with Junes event, but I promised the recipe for my great grandmothers gingerbread cookies to Ram. When I looked it up in her old recipe book, I found it wasnt as complete as I remembered. I guess she figured she made them often enough, she didnt need to write it all down! The amount of flour to use , as well as baking time and temperature , are approximate. Its been a long time since I helped her make them!
Gingerbread Cookies
1 cup white sugar
1 cup Crisco
1 cup Briars Dark Molasses
2 eggs
1 tablespoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons soda in 3/4 cup strong black coffee
enough flour to make stiff enough to roll out ( best estimate is 4-5 cups )
mix well, flour surface and rolling pin, roll out, cut into shapes
bake @ 375 @ 8-10 minutes
Enjoy!
