Mom's Molasses Cookies - TastyPlanner.com
Chef: Sidge Chapman
My mom always made the best molasses cookies, so this recipe comes from her … once you have these, you will be disappointed in all other molasses cookies.
Ingredients
375 degrees.
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup shortening (butter, margarine, or a blend of those two)
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda in 1/4 cup molasses (add last, or you will have a molasses baking soda volcano!)
Instructions
Mix all together. Roll in balls, roll each ball in granulated sugar (the balls will spread when they are baking). Place them on well-greased baking sheet far enough apart to accommodate cookies spreading out. Bake about 8 min., just until top cracks.
