1/2 cup hot coffee
1 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cloves
6 cups flour

Mix together cookie dough using 4 to 5 cups of flour. Add enough or the remaining flour, as needed, to make a stiff dough; chill thoroughly.

Roll out and cut with empty Spam can. When rolling, don't roll too thinly.

FROSTING:

1 env. Knox unflavored gelatin

Do you know if this cookie can be frozen after it is frosted?

This is my all-time favorite cookie. My mom used to buy them when I was little. Eventually they were dropped from production. But she found this recipe when she traveled south one winter. Today, I cannot find my ONE copy of this; so I was elated to find it here! I love this frosting... my friends thought I had brought store bought cookies to a cookie party. :)
