Empty contents of jar into a large mixing bowl. Blend together well. Add 1/2 cup

softened butter or margarine, 3/4 cup molasses and 1 slightly beaten egg. Mix until

completely blended. Dough will be very stiff so you may need to use your hands.

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350F.

cookie cutter. Place cookies on a lightly greased cookie sheet about 2 inches

apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Decorate as desired.
