preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake 8-10 minutes (Better to have cookies thin and crispy)

6 cups all-purpose flour, 1 Tblsp. baking powder, 1 Tbsp ground ginger (I use 2 Tblsp. fresh ginger pureed with two Tblsp. water), 1 tsp ground nutmeg, 1 tsp ground cloves, 1 tsp. ground cinnamon.
Cream: 1 C. shortening, melted and cooled slightly, 1 C. molasses ( I use unsulphered), 1 C. packed brown sugar, 1/2 C water, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract.
Sift together the flour and dry ingredients. Set aside. Cream remaining wet ingredients including the pureed fresh ginger. Fold dry ingredients into the wet creamed ingredients. Chill 3 hours so afor the gluten in the flour to relax. (Divide dough into three parts. wrap each part in plastic. Then take one part out at a time to roll out. rolling dough thinner will make crispier cookies. Bake 8-10 min. Cool and frost
