GINGER COOKIES 
2 c. sugar
2 c. sorghum
1 c. lard

Boil all together until sugar dissolves. Take off stove and stir in 1 rounded tablespoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon ginger, 1 tablespoon cinnamon. Cool a little. Then beat in 4 eggs until light and fluffy. Add enough flour to make a soft dough and then roll out to about 1/4 inch thick. Not good with too thin dough or when rolled too thin. Beat by hand don't use mixer. This recipe was made before mixers. Bake in 350 degree oven until center springs back when lightly touched. Store in covered container will soften up more and keeps well for several weeks.
