MEMO'S MOLASSES COOKIES
Delicious, soft, melt-in-your-mouth cookies. This is actually a vintage WWII Brer Rabbit "Molasses Sugar Cookie" recipe from when sugar was rationed. As odd as it seems, DO use butter-flavored SHORTENING and NOT butter, the taste is buttery anyway and shortening will give you that perfect texture. Chilling the dough is also a must. Original recipe says "yields 4 dozen", but we only end up with 2 dozen. Prep time doesn't include chilling time. Family Note: Memo is Mom-Mom's mother: Verdis Pierce Reasoner.

Steps:
- Melt shortening, cool. Add sugar, molasses and egg; beat well.
- Sift dry ingredients, add to first mixture and mix well.
- Chill thoroughly (for at least a few hours, we chill overnight).
- Form into 1" balls, roll in granulated sugar and place on greased cookie sheet 2-3 inches apart.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 7-8 minutes. Cookies should be light, pillowy and soft, not dark and crispy.
