Molasses Cookies

From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser

Beat:

1 c crisco

1/2 c butter, melted or softened

Add:

1 c sugar

1 c brown sugar

1/2 c mild molasses

2 eggs

Add:

1 tsp salt

4 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp cloves

1 tsp ginger

4 c flour

Chill dough for at least 2 hours.

I use a cookie scoop then roll into balls.

Roll in sugar.

Place on a silicone mat, parchment or greased cookie sheet.

Do not flatten.

Bake @ 375 until golden, about 10 minutes depending on the size of your cookies.

Let cool for 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.

If you try to move them immediately they’ll fall apart.

Store in a SEALED container to keep them from getting hard.

They freeze well.

Makes 90 2″ cookies.

NOTES

  • Personal note: My smallest scoop, convection bake, only 7 minutes.
