2 c. brown sugar
1 c. Brer Rabbit molasses
1 c. shortening
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla and lemon flavoring, mixed
4 c. sifted flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. ginger

Chill dough in ice box 4 hours or overnight. Then form little round balls not larger than hulled black walnuts (unless you want larger cookies). Place on cookie sheet. Bake in an oven that is not too hot. If you leave the cookies set a little after removing from oven, the cookies will come out of the pans much easier. Don't try to flatten the balls of dough.
