Try easy SOFT MOLASSES COOKIES Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!
INGREDIENTS
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
DIRECTIONS
Cream together shortening and brown sugar. Stir in egg and molasses and mix well. Fold in dry ingredients and stir. Cover and chill till firm (1-2 hours). 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 !
