   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
   
   Cream shortening, butter and sugars together. Beat in
   egg until fluffy. Stir in molasses and Kahlua. Re sift
   flour with soda, salt, and spices. Add to creamed
   mixture; blend well. Cover and chill 2 hours or longer
   to firm dough. On well-floured board, gently roll
   dough, a portion at a time, to 3/8 inch. (keeping
   remaining dough chilled). Dough will be tender and
   soften on rolling. Cut with 5 x 4 inch floured cutter.
   Slip large metal spatula under cutter and dough. Lift
   to lightly greased cookie sheet and remove cutter.
   Bake about 8 minutes. Let stand one minute to firm.
   Cool on wire rack. Decorate with Kahlua Icing. Makes 2
   1/2 to 3 dozen cookies.
   
   Kahlua Icing:
   
   In a large bowl, combine 1 pound powdered sugar, 1/4
   cup Kahlua, 3 Tbsp. shortening, 3 Tbsp. butter, and 2
   tsp. light corn syrup. Tint with food coloring, if
   desired. Pipe to decorate cookies. Or to spread, add
   additional Kahlua (1 to 2 Tbsp.).
