Servings: persons

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 cups dark molasses
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/4 cup boiling water
7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons ground cloves

1
Cream butter and shortening in a large mixing bowl; beat until well blended. Add sugar and molasses, beating well.
2
Dissolve soda in water, stirring well. Sift together 2 cups flour, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves in a medium mixing bowl; add to creamed mixture alternately with dissolved soda, beginning and ending with flour-spice mixture. Stir well after each addition. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough; stir after each addition until well blended.
3
Divide dough in half; wrap each half in waxed paper, and chill overnight.
4
Remove waxed paper from one portion of dough; let stand at room temperature about 10 minutes. (Keep remaining dough chilled until ready to use.) Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness on a well-floured surface; cut with a fluted 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 375u00b0 for 6 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets, and cool on wire racks. Repeat procedure with remaining dough.
