1 C brown sugar (I never pack my brown sugar)
1/3 C shortening
1 1/2 C molasses
2/3 C cold water
7 C flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp salt
Beat the brown sugar, shortening, molasses and water in a large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Roll out dough about 1/4 inch thick on floured surface. Cut out shapes and place them on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 10 min. at 350 F. (Cookies are done when no indentation remains when touched.) Remove immediately from sheet, and let cool completely before decorating.
