This is a recipe from a friend of mine – much to my surprise, a favorite of the kiddos!

Molasses Cookies

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup shortening
    1 cup sugar
    1/4 cup molasses (full flavor)
    1 egg
    2 tsp baking soda
    2 cups flour
    1/2 tsp ground cloves
    1/2 tsp nutmeg
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 375.

  1. Melt shortening & allow to cool a bit. Combine shortening, sugar, molasses & egg. Add dry ingredients. Mix (you may need to finish mixing by hand with spoon rather than mixer). Roll into little balls. Bake @ 375 fro 8 – 10 min
  3. * Yummy if sprinkled with sugar right out of the oven.
