Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake     Molasses

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup shortening
1 ½ tablespoons sugar
1 ½ tablespoons baking powder
1 cup molasses
½ cup hot water
½ cup sour milk
½ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon cinnamon
About 6 cups flour (the original recipe just says "flour-just enough to roll the dough")

Steps:

  • Cream the shortening and sugar; add the dry ingredients alternately with the liquid ones and mix thoroughly. Turn out onto the board before all the flour has been added, and keep the dough as soft as possible. This recipe definitely needs to be learned through hands-on experience! Bake at 350 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes.
