SOFT MOLASSES COOKIES



Soft Molasses Cookies image

I've tried a lot of molasses cookies since I was a girl on the farm, and as far as I'm concerned, these are simply the best. To keep them soft and chewy, store in a tightly covered container along with a slice of raw apple. These cookies freeze beautifully, too...if you can keep them away from "snitchers" long enough to get them in the freezer!

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup shortening (3/4 cup correct amount)
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar (reserved for coating raw dough balls)
1 large egg
1/2 cup molasses
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (see note below)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Cream together shortening and brown sugar.
  • Stir in egg and molasses and mix well.
  • Fold in dry ingredients and stir.

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Roll dough into small balls and roll in white sugar.
  • Place on lightly greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 9-10 minutes.
  • Leave on sheet one minute until set.
  • I changed the amount of salt in here. My original recipe calls for 1 tsp of salt but that may be too much for some. A few people have made it as is (the majority) with no complaints on salt, however a few commented it was too much. I think 1/2 tsp can be used with no alterations to the recipe. I will leave it up to you either way you still WIN !
