Instructions: Cream butter, shortening, and sugar together in mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs and molasses; beat well. Sift flour and remaining ingredients together; blend into creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Divide dough into three equal parts. Shape each third into a 6 1/2 x 1 1/2-inch roll. Wrap each roll in waxed paper, sealing ends. Chill 3 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 375. Cut rolls into 1/8-inch thick slices and arrange one inch apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
