Molasses Cookies


Best Autumn smell - Molasses cookies baking.  Best Autumn taste - Warm Molasses cookies fresh out of the oven.   One of the reasons why I love these cookies so much is because they are so nostalgic for me.  This is a recipe my mom always made, and her mother always made, and I'm pretty sure my great grandmother always made also.  I always double this recipe!  

Cream together - 
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar

Add - 
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg

Add - 
2 tsp soda
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

Roll dough into 1 inch balls, then roll in white sugar.  
Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes.
