Heat molasses and lard to melt lard.
When lard is melted, mix in soda.

Mix remaining ingredients well and add.
Cool overnight.
Roll out and bake for 10 minutes in a 350\u00b0 oven.
I use round cutters sometimes and also Christmas and Easter cutter designs such as rabbits, crosses, birds, stars, bells and Santa's boots.
