A recipe for molasses kringles that was passed down to me from my grandmother.
First up, cream together your shortening/butter and brown sugar. Next, add in the molasses, egg, flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Mix it up good.
Take a small bowl and add the white sugar to it. Grab your dough by heaping teaspoonfuls and roll into a ball. Roll your ball in the white sugar, set it on your cookie sheet and smoosh it down with a fork. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
Pop your cookies in the oven at 350F for 9 to 11 minutes. While your cookies are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Spoon the glaze over each cookie and allow it to harden.

Started my christmas baking today with this recipe….OH MY!!These are the BESTEST cookies I have EVER made with molasses! This is a keeper! I love the icing to go with it. I made the cookies using the shortening. I hope all my other new cookie recipes for christmas I am trying will be just as good as these! WOW! Thanks!

So – I must have printed-out the recipe prior to your correction…. I added the flour, started mixing and thought “is this right???” So – I rechecked this website and sure enough the correction had been made! I had to scrounge around my kitchen to basically “double” the recipe (not quite enough butter, so added some canola oil; not quite enough brown sugar, so I added some white sugar). I hope they turn out as wonderful as they smell!!

So sorry for the confusion with the flour measurement! It looks correct now. It should be 21/4 cups of flour. Thanks for all the nice comments!

I did not look at the related blog post before I made these cookies…guess I should have. I can understand the 1/4 cup measured 5 times…but why not just say
1 1/4 cups of flour? This misunderstanding would certainly account for the crumbly dough! I added 3/4 cup canola oil just to rescue the cookie recipe and not have to throw it all away. The family ate them…”great flavor…odd texture” Thank you for your comments. I would like to try these again…certainly with the related blog recipe.

Related blog post for this recipe shows 2 1/4 cups flour, not 5 1/4.
