Description
Nothing says the holidays like molasses cookies! It’s that time of year to start thinking about holiday baking so I thought I would share one of my favorite cookie recipes.
Ingredients
- 1-¼ cup Sugar, Divided
- ¾ cups Shortening
- ¼ cups Molasses
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ½ teaspoons Ground Cloves
- ½ teaspoons Ginger
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (All Purpose Is Ok Too)
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Set aside 1/4 cup sugar for flattening the cookies later.
Cream shortening and remaining sugar on medium speed in a blender or by hand with a spoon. Add molasses, eggs, baking soda, salt and spices; mix on medium low or until well incorporated. Add flours and mix on medium low until no longer visible.
Shape into 1-inch balls or use a cookie scoop to form 1-inch balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Space cookies 2 inches apart.
Use the bottom of a clean cup to press lightly onto 1 ball to transfer a bit of grease to the bottom of the glass. Dip into reserved 1/4 cup sugar and then gently press into the cookies until they just become level. Repeat dipping in sugar and gently pressing into the cookies until all have been done.
Bake for 7-9 minutes. Cookies will be almost firm if touched lightly on the top.

My Mom used to make these, they are my absolute favorite cookie. I never asked for the recipe because she enjoyed making them for me whenever I came home. She passed away in June and I couldn’t find her recipe.Thank you so much for posting this, can’t wait to try it!
