1pinchground nutmeg

1cupconfectioners' sugar
0.5 teaspoonvanilla extract
1.5 tablespoons half-and-half cream
Instructions:
In a large bowl, combine molasses, shortening, and brown sugar. Add flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and spices. Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours until firm.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) for the perfect bake.
Roll out half of the dough on a floured cloth-covered surface until it's very thin, about 1/8 inch. Use a 3-inch floured cutter to cut out rounds.
Arrange the dough 1/2 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 1/8 inch thick cookies for approximately 8 minutes, or paper-thin cookies for about 5 minutes, until they are lightly browned. Remove from the cookie sheet right away and let them cool completely.
Prepare the frosting by combining 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla, and 1-2 tablespoons of half-and-half until smooth and spreadable. Spread the frosting over the cooled cookies.
