Ginger Cookies

Intro
For some reason one of those spices I have always associated with Christmas time is ginger. Maybe it’s the gingerbread houses people build, or just one of those types of cookies people make for the holidays. This is a really simple recipe, and the first time I made it.
Ingredients
- 1.5 c. Flour
- half a teaspoon Salt
- 1 tsp. Baking Soda
- half a teaspoon Cinnamon
- half a teaspoon Ground Ginger (I decided to spice things up and went with fresh ginger and 1 tsp of that)
- half a cup Sugar
- 1/3 c. Shortening
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. Vinegar (I used Apple Cider)
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/4 cup Molasses
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350, this may vary. My oven is really bad. Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger.

Step 6
Have your self a drink while the ginger cookies bake for about 8-10 minutes. I set a timer for 8 minutes and checked every minute or so. Let cool and move to rack to cool completely.
Step 7
I made the majority of my ginger cookies quite large so I only got about 18 cookies out of them.
