Title: Ginger Molasses Cookies
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 1 servings
4 c Flour
1 tb Soda
2 ts Ground cloves
1 ts Salt
4 ts Ground ginger
2 ts Ground cinnamon
2/3 c Butter or margarine
2/3 c Shortening
2 c Sugar
2 Eggs
2 tb Molasses
2 tb Light corn syrup
Cinnamon and sugar mixed
Together to coat cookies
Combine flour, soda, cloves, salt, ginger, & cinnamon. Do not sift.
Stir to mix well. Beat together butter, shortening, & sugar til fluffy.
Stir in eggs, molasses, & corn syrup until well blended. Add flour
mixture to creamed mixture. Beat until smooth & pliable. Pinch off
dough by the rounded teaspoonful. Roll into smooth balls. Roll balls in
cinnamon sugar to coat completely. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees 10 minutes or until cookies appear cracked, are firm
but feel soft to the touch. NOTE: I usually undercook these cookies for a
soft center. But for ginger snaps and a crispy cookie, cook them the full
time. Lilli Beach
