FROSTED CARAMEL COOKIES
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. lard (I use Crisco)
1 1/2 c. molasses
1 c. boiling water
1 tbsp. soda
1 tbsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tbsp. vanilla
Cream together sugar and lard or Crisco. Add molasses. Dissolve soda in
water. Add to the mixture while still hot. Add spices. Then add enough flour to
make a soft dough. Roll, cut and bake in a 350 degree oven until done, 10-15
minutes. You can drizzle a powdered sugar frosting or make 7 minute frosting to
put on the cookies.
Royal Icing
Use caution when using raw egg whites.
Use this for decorative icing.
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 egg white, unbeaten
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Dash of salt
Add sugar gradually to egg white. Work together well with wooden spoon until
smooth and shiny. Add lemon juice and salt; stir well. Enjoy.
