Directions:
Cream shortening and sugar. Beat in egg and molasses. Sift together dry ingredients and add, stirring just enough to mix well. Chill dough for at least two hours.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
*Traditional cinnamon candies or red hots seem to melt while baking. “CakeMate fruit flavored decors – multicolored” work well.
**This is too hot! Try 325 and check time. Wait until after baking to attach redhots.
