Grandma Harris: Grandpa doesn't like these, but I do!

1 1/2 c brown sugar
2 eggs
1 c molasses
1 c boiling water
5 c sifted all purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 t powdered ginger

Cream shortening, sugar, and molasses. Add eggs. Add dry ingredients alternately with boiling water, beating just long enough to blend thoroughly. Drop by teaspoons on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 - 12 minutes. Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
