"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Crisp Rolled Molasses Cookies

 

Ingredients

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
2 tsp ginger, ground
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp soda
1 cup molasses, dark
2 1/2 cup flour, all-purpose, divided



 

Preparation

Cream shortening, sugar, ginger, and salt. Add egg; mix well.
Combine soda and molasses; stir well until frothy, and add to creamed
mixture. Add 2 cups flour; turn onto a floured board and add enough
of the remaining flour to make a dough that can be rolled.

Using a small amount of dough at a time, roll to 1/8" thickness; cut
with a floured 3" cutter. Place on greased baking sheets; bake at
375 degrees for 15 minutes. These cookies keep well in a covered
container.
