Gingersnap Junction


Recipe Introduction

Theres an adoreable little country store where I go camping called the Gingersnap Junction and when you go into the kitchen they have all these food mixes and kitchen items for sale. Theres also free coffee and cookies to the public. They always have these fantastic gingersnap cookies there.

List of Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Crisco
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup light molasses
1/4 cup dark molasses
2 eggs
1 tsp salt

4 cups flour
4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground ginger
2 tsp. cinnamon




Recipe

Stir together dry ingredients, set aside. Melt Crisco, put in mixing bowl and let partially cool. Add sugar, molasses and eggs - mix well. Add dry ingredients. Chill dough until cold. Form into balls and roll in sugar. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes.

Definately make sure to use dark and light molasses..other wise they won't have the same dark color that makes them so pretty.
