Directions
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar.
Add egg; mix well.
Beat in molasses.
Combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger; add to creamed mixture and mix well.
The dough will be very stiff.
Cover and chill several hours or overnight.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to ⅛ inch thickness; cut into 2¼ inch to 2½ inch circles.
Place ½ teaspoon preserves on half of the circles; top with remaining circles.
Pinch edges together to seal.
Place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool on a wire rack.
Combine glaze ingredients and frost cooled cookies.
