3/4 c Shortening

Flour

Cream shortening and sugar. Add molases, well beaten eggs, and sour
cream into which soda has been stired. (I would think this is cream that
has been soured rather than commercial sour cream) Add spices and enough
flour to make a soft dough. Chill, roll to 1/2 inch in thickness, and cut
with a cooky cutter. Bake on a greased baking sheet in a moderate oven.
