There's some sort of plant or flower with that name, too. Can't recall what...just that it rendered any kinda Google search for the recipe useless. ;-) I did try to find it!
They shipped really well, too.
Is this anything like what you remember?
3/4 c shortening
1 egg
2-1/2 t soda
1 t cinnamon
1 c sugar
1/4 c molasses
1 t ginger
2 c flour
Cream together shortening and sugar. Add egg and molasses. Soft together flour, soda and spices and mix into creamed mixture. Chill for at least two hours. Form into small balls, about 1” in diameter, roll in powered sugar. Bake on greased cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool 2-3 minutes on sheet before removing to wire rack.
Makes about 5 dozen.
