Grandma Joe Cookies - Richard's way instructions

1. READ ENTIRE RECIPEE BEFORE STARTING. These quanities of ingredients yield 60 cookies. You may want to prepare only a "half batch". If using self-rising flour, omit the baking soda and salt ingredients. Do not over-work mixtures in an electric mixer..
2. Cream shortening, gradually adding sugar. Set aside..
3. In anothet bowl, sift dry goods together..
4. Gradually add dry goods to creamed mixture..
5. In separate bowl, wisk molasses and coffee together..
6. Gradually add wet mixture to main ingredients. Hold back a couple tablespoons of the wet mixture, to ensure correct consistancy is achieved..
7. Roll into 1/4" thick. May need to refrigerate for a couple hours if too sticky. Refrigerate 1/4" dough for a couple hours to reduce stickiness, to more easily cut out cookie patterns. (Next time I'll just add more flour to try to lessen the stickiness, since the refigeration steps end up using the whole day!)..
8. Preheat oven to 400°F..
9. Once firmed, re-roll the chilled dough to 1/4" thick. Cut out cookies..
10. Bake 9 to 10 minutes..
11. Let baked cookies cool on cooling rack..
12. Icing - slowly add powdered sugar to hot water in stovetop pot. The ability to continuously reheat the icing is important, as it solidifies quickly during the icing process..
13. Using a "candy funnel", apply molten icing to cooled cookies. Let set to harden..
14. Pack cookies carefully to protect damage to frosted tops!.
