Molasses Cookies

These are sooooo delicious. I grew up eating these & thought I'd share. Have a look at the pics....the recipe follows.


Ingredients:
  • 1/2 CUP margarine
  • 1/2 CUP shortening
  • 1 1/2 CUPS sugar
  • 1/2 CUP molasses
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 4 CUPS flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cloves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon


Cream margarine, shortening & sugar. Gradually add eggs & molasses. In a separate bowl, mix all the dry ingredients. Add to creamed mixture. Roll into balls & dip in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. (I LOVE using parchment paper!) Cook in a 350 degree oven for 13 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Then eat some. With milk.

    Gigi--I bet it would be fine to replace the margarine with butter.
