    Amish Molasses Cookies

    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!!
