In honor of the holidays, I thought I would post one of my favorite holiday treats. I swear there is nothing better than the smell of baking molasses cookies. The best part is the recipe makes a ton of cookies, so there's plenty to eat and give away (actually that can be a bad thing depending on how many you eat...I've already had five since this morning).
Grandma Mathias' Molasses Cookies
1 1/2 cups shortening
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup molasses
2 eggs
4 teaspoons baking soda
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon ginger
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
Melt shortening over low heat. Cool and add to sugar, molasses, and egg. Beat well. Sift together flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt. Add to first mixture and mix well. Chill. Form balls of about one teaspoon size from dough. Roll balls in granulated sugar. Cook on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 8-10 min. Yeilds :75+
