1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup molasses
1/2 cup buttermilk
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon soda
2 teaspoons ginger
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Combine sugar, shortening, molasses and buttermilk; blend well. Stir in remaining ingredients; blend well. Chill several hours or overnight (I usually chill it maybe an hour). Lightly grease cookie sheets (I use parchment paper). Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough on floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness - 1/4-inch thick for soft cookies - cut with floured cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake for 7-10 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet.
