[recipe re-post] Large Soft Molasses Cookies

[Guest guest]

I see from my recipe file records that I have

already shared this here once; so heads up

to the faithful filers here, this one is probably

already on file.

 

Large Soft Molasses Cookies

 

 

Sift these ingredients together well. Preheat oven to

400 degrees.

 

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

 

Dissolve these together:

 

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp hot water

 

With a mixer beat these together in a bowl:

 

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup molasses

1 egg

 

Add the earlier flour mixture alternately with:

 

6 Tbs cold water

 

Then stir in the baking soda mixture until well combined.

Drop on greased cookie sheets by rounded tablespoonsful,

about 2 inches apart.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes. [i prefer them slightly undercooked]

Yield: about 2 dozen
