adapted from . . .. a recipe gathered from a school field trip.
Quite a few years ago, while teaching 4th grade, we took a field trip back in time to an historical village. One of the things we did was make molasses cookies in a wood stove. My job as the teacher was to mix up the cookie dough and bring it with me - the recipe was provided to me and I fell in love with these cookies!! They are super easy and turn out nice and soft with the perfect flavor. One note - I seldom melt the shortening and they still turn out fine. Just make sure that the shortening is combined well with the other wet ingredients.
Ingredients:
1
½ cups shortening
½
cup molasses
2
eggs
2
cups sugar
4
cups flour
1
teaspoon salt
4
teaspoons baking soda
2
teaspoons cinnamon
1
teaspoon cloves
1
teaspoon ginger
Directions:
Melt
shortening. Beat wet ingredients. Mix dry ingredients into wet
ingredients. Roll into small balls and
then roll in sugar. Bake at 375 degrees
for 8-10 minutes.
