These were AWESOME – soft and scrumptious!

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!!

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 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.

In the recipe is there 5 1/4 cups of flour or 1/4 cup five times ?

I made these…exactly the way the recipe is written…the dough was very dry and crumbly. I was unable to make a ball with the dough…it fell apart in my palms. 5 1/2 cups of flour seems like alot…with very little wet ingredients….please advise…thanks.
