Recipe Introduction


This makes 10 dozen cookies. It’s a perfect little cookie to fill in a holiday Christmas cookie plate. You can also make them smaller if you wish. They freeze very well and it’s a good cookie to ship.


List of Ingredients





2 cups sugar
½ cup molasses
1-½ cups butter, softened
2 eggs
4-½ cups sifted all purpose flour
3 teas. Baking Soda
½ teas. Salt
2 teas. Cinnamon
1 teas. Cloves
1 teas. Ginger
½ teas. Nutmeg

SUGAR

Recipe




In large bowl beat sugar, butter, molasses and eggs until light and fluffy. Sift together the next seven dry ingredients and add to the moist ingredients a little at a time, mixing well after each addition. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. You can even refrigerate it over night.

Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll in sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 12 minutes or until set. Cookies will puff up and flatten during baking. Cool one minute. Remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack.
