In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Set aside. 2. In a separate large bowl, combine the shortening, molasses, brown sugar, water, egg and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until they are completely absorbed. Cover and refrigerate for about 3 hours. 3. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thick and cut out your pieces with a lightly floured cookie cutter. If using cardboard cutout pieces, lightly flour them then place over the dough. Using a pizza cutter, slice around the cardboard cutout. 4. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. When done the cookies will be soft to the touch, they will harden when cooled. Cool completely on wire racks.
