     These cookies are formed by 
cookie cutters. By using a toothpick
 to make a hole in the top of the 
cookie, you can hang them on the tree.
 You can also make paint out of egg yolks,
 and food coloring to make them more 
colorful.

   Ingredients:
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups dark molasses
2/3 cup cold water
7 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon crushed cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 egg yolks
food coloring
1/2 teaspoon water
raisins, candied cherries, and citron 
for decorations
 Directions:  
  1 Mix shortening, brown sugar, and 
molasses thoroughly. Stir in 2/3 cup 
water. Blend flour, soda, salt, and
