Molasses Cookies Recipe 3

From LoveToKnow Recipes

Ingredients for Molasses Cookies
  • 1 cup molasses
  • 1 tablespoon ginger
  • ½ cup shortening, butter and shortening mixed
  • 1 tablespoon soda
  • 2½ cups bread flour
  • 2 tablespoons warm milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
  1. Heat molasses to boiling-point, add shortening, ginger, soda dissolved in warm milk, salt, and flour.
  2. Toss one-fourth of mixture on a floured board and roll as thinly as possible; shape with a small round cutter, first dipped in flour.
  3. Place near together on a buttered sheet and bake in a moderate oven.
  4. Gather up the trimmings and roll with another portion of dough.
  5. During rolling, the bowl containing mixture should be kept in a cool place, or it will be necessary to add more flour to dough, which makes cookies hard rather than crisp and short.
