GRAMMY'S SPICE COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick liners.
• Using an electric mixer, beat 12 tablespoons butter with the granulated sugar, molasses and egg until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Slowly beat in flour, baking soda, spices and salt.
• Shape dough into walnut-size balls and place 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake until firm, about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on wire racks.
• To make the icing, beat remaining 4 tablespoons butter with the confectioners' sugar until smooth. (Go slowly so you don't create a sugar storm.) Beat in the vanilla and enough cream or milk, and whiskey (if using), to make a spreadable frosting. Slather on fully cooled cookies.

GRANDMOM'S GINGIES (GINGERBREAD COOKIES)

Steps:

• MIX shortening, brown sugar, and molasses thoroughly.
• STIR in water.
• MEASURE flour by dip-level method.
• BLEND all dry ingredients.
• STIR in and chill.
• ROLL 1/2 inch thick
• Cut with 2-1/2 inch round cutter.
• Place far apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until to imprint remains when touched lightly.
• Frost with any buttercream frosting of your choice. We use the one on the back of the 10x sugar (some of you may know what I am talking about!).
• I am not sure to how many gingies this yields because I used a different cookie cutter, however, this recipes makes A LOT.

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F - you will need 3 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (again the parchment keeps the cookie from burning and makes clean up faster).
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
• Beat together with mixer at low speed - butter and sugar until the sugar granules are not visible. Increase speed and beat 1 minute longer, scrape sides as needed and add egg, beat another 30 seconds. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time and incorporate well over med speed until mixture is smooth. Add oatmeal and stir into the dough using your rubber spatula.
• Divide into 24 equal portions and bake for 13 to 16 minutes placing only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time and rotating the cookie sheet half way through your cooking time -- these are the best and the thinnest cookies and very crispy.
