Directions:Heat honey and molasses ( do not boil ) in a sauce pan large enough for mixing the dough, add shortening, cool, beat in egg.
Sift in remaining ingredients together and gradually stir in honey mixture. Let dough stand 30 minutes to stiffen enough to handle.

Cookies may also be dusted with powdered sugar.
Make 11 dozen.
