Description

These spicy cookies always remind me of fall. They are great with a cup of coffee or hot cider. I always include them in my Christmas cookie trays. You can make the dough up a day or two ahead of time and then scoop and bake later.

Ingredients

  • 1-⅓ cup Shortening, Melted
  • 2-½ cups Sugar, Divided
  • ½ cups Molasses
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 4-½ cups Flour
  • 3-½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cloves
  • 2 teaspoons Cinnamon

Preparation

Combine melted shortening, 2 cups sugar and molasses; add eggs. Stir together remaining ingredients (except remaining sugar), then gradually blend into the molasses mixture. Chill in the refrigerator.

Scoop out dough using #40 cookie scoop or roll into 1″ balls. Roll in remaining sugar and place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 11 to 12 minutes. DO NOT OVERBAKE. They should still be puffed and look a little underdone when you take them out; they finish cooking as they cool.

Let stand on the baking sheet for a minute, then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling. Makes 4 1/2 dozen cookies.

Note: You can make the dough up a day or two ahead of time and then scoop and bake later.
