I don't know how I ended up with this, but I have Grandma's recipe for gingerbread cookies. Here it is basically as she wrote it.
Swedish Cookies--Gingerbread men; good for children
[word I can't read] 15 minutes: 1 cup molasses and 1 cup shortening.
Cream together 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla. Dissolve 2 tsp baking soda in 1/2 cup hot water. Add hot water & baking soda to sugar & eggs. Sift together 6 cups flour, 1/4 tsp cloves, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp finger. Add to other mixture and stir until flour is well mixed.
May need more flour or to chill first.
Roll thin and cut with cookie cutter. Bake 10 minutes at 375. This dough doesn't stick to board.

I know this recipe says it's good for children, but if you are using it for baking children I think you might want to double the liquid ingredients.
