Lace Wafers

• 1 scant cup flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 tsp. ginger
• 1/2 cup molasses, regular dark
• 1/2 cup butter

Directions

Sift together dry ingredients. Heat molasses to the boiling point. Stirring constantly, add butter, then dry ingredients. To form cookies, drop mixture from a spoon into small bits 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 325 to 350 degrees F for about 12 minutes. Cool slightly before removing from pan with a spatula. Cookies can be rolled while slightly warm around the handle of a wooden spoon to form a cone.
