  Ingredients

  • 8 Tablespoon butter, slightly softened

  • 1/2 Cup vegetable shortening

  • 1 1/4 Cup brown sugar

  • 1 Large egg

  • 1 Tablespoon dark molasses

  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla

• 4

  Add flour, cinnamon, ground ginger and salt, and mix. Try to roll a walnut-size ball between your palms. If the dough sticks to your hands and is too soft to roll, blend a bit more flour into the dough. Do not add too much, or your cookies will not spread properly and will toughen.
