Beat lard until it is soft. Add sugar and beat again. Add egg, beat until it's fluffy. Put in molasses, baking soda, and ginger and mix well. Stir in flour. Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet.

Many of the recipes in this collection did not contain amounts or oven temperatures. I have typed them in as they appear in the book, typos and all.
