STEPS

1

In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup margarine and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and molasses until well blended. Dissolve the baking soda in boiling water, then stir into the molasses mixture. Gradually mix in the flour to make a smooth dough. Cover and chill dough for at least 1 hour.

Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until edges begin to darken. Allow cookies to cool completely.

To make the frosting: Beat 1 tablespoon of margarine with 3 tablespoons of boiling water, ginger, and salt. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar until smooth.

5

Frost the solid cookies and place a cookie with a center hole on top to sandwich them.
