Recipe Introduction
This is from an Amish cookbook. I have modified the directions to explain better:
List of Ingredients
1 c Shortening
1 1/2 c Sugar; brown
2 Eggs
1 c Molasses
1 c Syrup, corn white or golden
1 1/2 c Milk
3 tsp Baking soda
1 tsp Ginger
2 tsp Cinnamon
6 c Flour
Recipe
Cream the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, molasses and syrup. Then sift together the dry ingredients and alternately stir in the flour and milk. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes in a 375 degree oven. The molasses in the cookies make them very prone to burn so check often. The recipe could be halved as this makes about 80 cookies!!
