    MOLASSES SUGAR COOKIES

    I RECEIVED THIS RECIPE FROM A NEWSLETTER WHICH I BELONG TO. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO POSTED IT, IN ORDER TO GIVE HER THE CREDIT. THEY ARE EVERYTHING SHE SAID THEY WERE, PLUS VERY DELICIOUS.
    SHE WROTE: THESE ARE SOFT AND CHEWY IF YOU DON'T COOK THEM TOO LONG!!. YOU CAN CHANGE THE SPICES AS YOU LIKE... I SOMETIMES HALVE THE CINNAMON AND DOUBLE THE GINGER TO MAKE THEM LIKE GINGERBREAD. IF YOU FLATTEN THE BALLS AND COOK THEM A BIT LONGER THEY ARE CRISP.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 3/4 CUPS SHORTENING
    • 2 CUPS SUGAR
    • 1/2 CUP DARK MOLASSES
    • 2 LARGE EGGS
    • 4 TEASPOONS BAKING SODA
    • 4 CUPS FLOUR
    • 1 TEASPOON GROUND CLOVES
    • 1 TEASPOON GROUND GINGER
    • 2 TEASPOONS CINNAMON
    • 1 TEASPOON SALT


    Instructions


    1. MELT THE SHORTENING IN A 3 TOR 4 QUART SAUCE PAN OVER LOW HEAT, LET COOL.
    2. ADD SUGAR, MOLASSES AND EGGS, BEAT WELL. ADD FLOUR, SODA, SPICES AND SALT. MIX WELL AND CHILL.
    3. FORM INTO 1" BALLS, ROLL IN SUGAR AND BAKE ON A COOKIE SHEET ABOUT 2" APART IN A PREHEATED 350° OVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 TO 10 MINUTES.


    Final Comments


    THESE COOKIES ARE REALLY DELICIOUS WITH A GLASS OF MILK OR A CUP OF HOT TEA.
