Turn up the
temperature.
Set your
thermostat
to 85 to 90
degrees while
you are away.
Close blinds
and shades.
But, keep open
those on the
front so your
home does not
appear vacant.
Turn lights
off except
those needed
for security.
Consider an
inexpensive
timer to turn
them on only
in the evening.
Unplug
electronics.
Televisions,
stereos and
other devices
use energy
even when
not in use.

Preheat oven to 325. Cream together shortening and sugar. Add
molasses and egg, beating well. By hand, mix in dry ingredients, in
order, and stir well after each addition. Stir together until smooth.
Spoon into small balls, dip in sugar, then place on lightly greased
cookie sheet. Bake for 12-13 minutes.
Leave cookies on sheet for a few minutes
before removing. Cookies are
best when served crispy.
