CRY BABY COOKIES

These cookies are from 1937. They have been in my "special" cook-book for years, but I don't know where it came from. They are really good..the true old-fashioned kind! I usually get about 3 doz., but that depends on how big of a spoon you use to drop them on the cookie-sheet.

CRY BABY MOLASSES COOKIES

Again another one of my Grandma Clark's recipes our family LOVES. It is at almost every family gathering. I have used 'store bought' icing before and it works OK but I prefer to make my own powdered sugar icing. This is a LARGE recipe and my servings are a guess as my family eats the cookies before I can count. I often half this recipe to make a more manageable number of cookies.

1 cup plus 2 tbsp. shortening
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. sugar
1 cup molasses
2 eggs, beaten
4 3/4 cups sifted flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. soda

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough. This will help ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. They are ready when the tops are matte and the edges are just starting to brown.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting.
  • Feel free to decorate the cookies however you like! You can use sprinkles, candy, or even edible glitter.

Conclusion:

Cry baby cookies are a delicious and fun treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
