This recipe is from the vintage cookbook North Dakota Where Food is Love published in 1994. The recipe gives credit to Mary Cowen (1869-1965).
- 1/2 c butter
- 1/2 c lard
- 1 c sugar
- 1 c molasses
- 1/2 c sour milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp ginger
- 2 tsp baking soda
Use enough flour to make a soft dough; stiff enough to roll out on a floured board, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out and sprinkle with sugar. Bake on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
