List of Ingredients
12 Christmas Molasses Cookies
2/3 cup buter (no substitutes), softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup dark molasses
1/4 cup orange juice
4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Blend in corn syrup, molasses and orange juice. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Chill for 3-4 hours or overnight. Divide dough into four portions. Roll dough, a portion at a time, on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with a 2-1/2 inch cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes. Cookies will be soft and chewy if baked 12 minutes; crunchy if baked longer. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Yield: 6-7 dozen.
