Ursula Faith’s Ginger Cookies

"From ye olde recipe box…I’m not sure from where my mom originally got this recipe, but it has been there as long as I can remember. Packed full of spicy, molasses-y sweetness. I have not made these myself so I can’t vouch for them from first-hand experience, but they do look quite good. I am really not sure about the serving size or prep time either, so I just gave it a wild guess!"

  1. I've done this recipe for over 20 years. I got it out of some magazine long lost. Thankfully I copied it down many years ago. This cookie has become my signature cookie. I started baking them for christmas gifts. I pick out 6 or so cookie cutters and decorate them with a royal icing. I've always used solid shortening never butter. I bake these ginger cookies for every holiday but friends and family look forward to my Christmas gifts.

My most important characteristic is this: I am a child of God through the gracious work of Jesus Christ! I love to be with my family and friends. Interests? Writing, reading, cooking, dancing, teaching, splashing in puddles...I am an English teacher, wannabe children's author, and a bit of a health nut...and I can't stand high pitched squeaky noises.
