My kids are obsessed with ginger cookies! Just copied the recipe, thank you! (Also substack is doing a weird thing putting a comment for one post on a different post? Hm...)
Wait a minute- back up to the first photo- is that macrame on the lamp??
Re: cookies- YES! I came upon this recipe in 1992 from the realtor who sold me this house (49 East Emerson Melrose, MA) I had the same feeling as you, Jane, and have also made them every year. One change- I just drop them in sugar, and cook them sugar side up. Definitely Crisco, not butter, for these cookies.

Ginger and lacy? You had me at hello. I will make these! Perhaps we can have a French Lace and Ginger Lace Book Event. xxxx
“Shortening” is a broad cargory. What do you use?
