| 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. | 2. In a large mixer bowl combine, butter, shortening, sugars, molasses, egg, and vanilla. | 3. Beat well about three minutes. | 4. Measure in another bowl, spices, flour, baking soda, and salt. | 5. Pour dry ingredients into low speed moving mixer bowl, with the wet creamy ingredients, as it is combining add the cold coffee, and beat until all comes together to a stiff dough. | 6. That will only be a minutes-- Roll small tsp, size balls and dip into extra granulated sugar, and place on parchment lined sheet.Flatten to 1/8 inch thick with a sugared bottom of a glass. | 7. Bake 11- 13 minutes-- Edges should be brown-- Cookies crisp upon cooling. | 8. Note-- bake a few to get the crispness you desire-- under done can give you a chewy centre core-- or overdone could give you a crunchy hard cookie-- I always test bake. | 9. these cookies puff up and spread rounder. | 10. the puffiness goes flat at end of baking time-- to a flat crisp cookie-- Also Taste test, to see if you have enough spicey ginger taste, or would like to add more. | 11. Baker always gets the best end of the wooden spoon--. | 12. This dough freezes very well into logs also. Just slice then roll each slice into a ball and dip into sugar. Press down just lightly as cookie flatens when fully baked. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
