https://www.redbubble.com/people/prezaurian?ref=artist_title_nameI just looked for the one I like, (and plan to bake today), and its the same recipe! Its from the New York Times cookbook.
-laughs- This copy came from a package of ninja bread men cookie cutters! That recipe has really gotten around apparently!

https://www.redbubble.com/people/prezaurian?ref=artist_title_nameOkay. Here goes.
2/3 cup shortening
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
pinch of salt
1 egg
3/4 cup molasses
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder1) Cream together the shortening, sugar, spices and salt. Add egg and mix thoroughly. Add the molasses and blend.
2) Sift together the flour, baking soda and baking powder. Add to the molasses mixture. Stir until blended and chill.
3) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
4) Using a third to a quarter of the dough at a time, roll it to 1/8th inch or slightly thicker on a lightly floured pastry cloth (or wherever you like to roll out your dough) with a floured rolling pin.
5) Using your favorite cookie cutter (dragon-shaped for ginger snapdragons, lol), cut out shapes and carefully transfer them to a greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
6) Place in oven and bake 8-10 minutes. Cool on rack. Apply traditional edible decorations of your choice.
Added note: This recipe tastes good. However, the dough has a tendency to be ridiculously sticky. I would recommend adding a little extra flour and sticking it in the freezer for at least an hour before trying to roll it and cut shapes out (assuming you want to cut shapes). If you want to eliminate that hassle (and believe me it’s a HASSLE), I’d just make little balls out of the dough and squash them flat to 1/8th inch thick. Then you don’t have to tweak the recipe.
Enjoy!

https://www.redbubble.com/people/prezaurian?ref=artist_title_nameShe has to find the recipe. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. It shouldn’t take too long. She does warn that it requires a LOT of freezing of the dough to keep it from being too sticky (she found the recipe a bit frustrating because of this…though they did taste quite good).

https://www.redbubble.com/people/prezaurian?ref=artist_title_name(Continuing from Kim’s last story post.)
…and grin. This reminds you of fun times watching ‘The Goonies’ when you were growing up. Puzzles have always been your thing so this is finally starting to get fun.
Sentences in an incomprehensible language. Unknown symbols…time to pray this wasn’t as unsolvable as the Dorabella Cipher. Especially considering that creepy cry from earlier.
Three lines of characters and several ‘characters’ per line. You hear the awful cry again, only this time it sounds closer. Your mind races. Something is familiar about the apparent structure of these sentences. What though? You hear the screech again and it clicks in your mind. Five seven five. A haiku!
You feel giddy or perhaps it’s terrified exultation? The steps reverberate under your feet as something heavy begins to climb them. You don’t have time for too much thought and throw your lot in with Lady Luck. You punch the fifth, seventh and fifth characters from the note into the pin pad and pray.
Lady Luck smiles upon you and the door slowly swings open. Without looking back you leap through and hurriedly slam the door shut behind yourself. When you turn around you are somewhere new. And for once, ‘new’ doesn’t just mean someplace you’ve never been before. This place looks as though time is a stranger here. You look around in awed wonder and are startled to see someone looking back at you.
“Um, hello?”
