Good Molasses Cookies
3/4 cup Melted shortening
4/4 cup Molasses 1 cup Sugar 1 large Egg 2 tsp Baking soda 2
cup Flour (Not self rising)
5/2 tsp Cloves 1 tsp Cinnamon 1 tsp Ginger (you can use less
but -we like the ginger taste)
6/2 tsp Salt
Mix sugar and molasses into melted shortening. Add beaten
egg. Sift dry ingredients and mix in. Chill dough about 1
hour. Form into balls about the size of a large walnut, roll
in sugar. Place balls on ungreased baking sheet and bake at
375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. (Until set but not
hard) Balls will be puffy when you remove from oven. Drop
cookie sheet on surface so cookies fall. The cookies will
crinkle and have a beautiful appearance. Remove from sheet
to cooling rack. Store in airtight container.
These used to disappear before they were cool when my kids
were still at home--so I usually doubled the batch and hoped
there would be some left for the freezer. Posted to TNT -
