ICING

Cream sugar and shortening. Add egg, molasses and soda mixture. Add dry ingredients. Drop by teaspoonfuls on greased cookie sheet. Bake 7-10 minutes at 350 degrees or until no imprint remains when touched lightly with finger. Do not overbake. Frost when cool.

For icing, melt butter and milk over low heat. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and enough powdered sugar to reach spreading consistency.
