1/4 cup vegetable shortening
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon cloves
Dash nutmeg
Dash allspice
Mix molasses, shortening, and sugar together. Add flour to molasses mixture. Stir together remaining ingredients and blend them into the mixture. Work dough with hands until well-blended. Cover and chill for about 4 hours. (Thorough chilling is needed to make the dough hold together.)
Heat oven to 375°F. Roll dough out paper-thin, a little at a time. Cut into desired shapes. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 7 minutes or until lightly browned.
