Gingerbread Cookies

from the kitchen of Stephanie S.

1 c sugar
1 c sorghum or molasses
3/4 c oil or lard
1/2 c hot water
2 eggs
1 tsp soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ginger
6-7 c white flour

Combine sugar, molasses, oil and hot water.  Rinse molasses from cup with hot water.  Add eggs.  Mix the dry ingredients together and add to dough.  Refrigerate overnight.  Roll out and cut with cookie cutters.  Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.  To roll out dough, use Pam spray in place of flour.  Cookies freeze well and are softer and more flavorful after freezing.
