Molasses Cookies


Molasses Cookies:

4 & 1/2 cups of flour
4 teaspoons of ground ginger
2 teaspoons of baking soda
1 & 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 & 1/2 cups shortening (0r substitute with Smart Balance spread).
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses

Mix all the dry together. Set aside. Mix sugar and shortening until combined. Add eggs and molasses next until combined. Now mix dry ingredients until well mixed. Form into 2 inch balls. Roll into granulated sugar. Place on a un-greased cookie sheet. Slightly smash with a fork like you would with peanut butter cookies. Bake at 350 for 11-13 minutes. Do not over bake.

*These cookies are so moist and yummy! My sister made them for me once and I was HOOKED!
