Description

The mom of one of my old roommates used to make these cookies for us every Christmas. They are sooo good. We call them the taste of Christmas. :)

Ingredients

  • ¾ cups Shortening
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • ¼ cups Dark Molasses
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 2 cups Sifted Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Cloves
  • ½ teaspoons Ginger
  • ½ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

In a large bowl, cream together shortening and sugar. Add molasses and egg; beat well. Sift together remaining ingredients and add to the creamed mixture. Mix well. Cover and chill (overnight is best).

Form 1-inch balls, roll each in granulated sugar, and place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

These cookies can be frozen in Ziploc freezer bags for up to 6 months … if they last that long. :)

Best cookies ever. I used powdered sugar for the coating, otherwise exact. Came out so good! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
