Molasses Cookies Amishcookies, penndutch 1 cup shortening 1 1/2 cup sugar; brown 2 eggs 1 cup molasses 1 cup syrup, corn white or golden 1 1/2 cup milk 3 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon ginger 2 teaspoon cinnamon 6 cup flour This is from an Amish cookbook. I have modified the directions to explain better: Cream the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, molasses and syrup. Then sift together the dry ingredients and alternately stir in the flour and milk. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes in a 375 degree oven. The molasses in the cookies make them very prone to burn so check often.. the recipe could be halved as this makes about 80 cookies!! |
