Soft Molasses Cookies

- 1 cup sour milk
- 1/2 cup shortening, melted
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- 1 teaspoon salt

Add soda to molasses and beat thoroughly; add milk, shortening, ginger, salt, and flour. Enough flour must be used to make mixture of right consistency to drop easily from spoon. Let stand several hours in a cold place to thoroughly chill. Toss one-half mixture at a time on slightly flour-covered surface and roll, roll, roll lightly to one-fourth inch thickness. Shape with a round cutter, first dipped in flour. Bake on buttered sheet.
