Molasses Cookies


A friend of mine made these and they are different. I wouldn't want them all the time, but every now and again they hit the spot.

Molasses Cookies

3/4 C. shortening (butter or margarine)
1 1/2 C. sugar + extra for rolling
1 egg
1 pinch of salt
4 T. molasses
2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cloves

Cream the sugar, butter, egg and molasses. Add the dry ingredients. Make dough into balls the size of walnuts and roll them in granulated sugar. Place the balls on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes.
