I love chocolate chip cookies. Sometimes I like a little variety though, so I decided to make molasses cookies. I knew I loved them, but I had no idea Phillip would like them so much. He would have me bake them every day if I was willing! The thing I really like is that they are already dairy free.
3/4 cup shortening (this tastes much better in Molasses cookies then in snickerdoodles)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 beaten egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cloves
Roll in balls, dip in sugar 350 degrees.
Once again this is one of my Mom's recipes so I had to experiment. What seemed to work was mixing the shortening and sugar then adding the molasses and egg. The rest I mixed in a separate bowl and stirred into wet mix slowly. I made approximately 1 " balls and cooked them until they were a little crispy on the edges and slightly darker on top. The first batch I made I didn't think had enough spice to it, so I added a little extra molasses, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves the next time and it was perfect!
