Molasses Sugar Cookies
Author: Stephanie @ SixFiguresUnder.com
Recipe type: Cookie
Serves: 2.5-3 dozen
- ¾ cup shortening
- ¼ cup molasses
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teapsoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon cloves
- ½ teaspoon ginger
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Melt shortening over low heat until is is completely liquid. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool completely.
- When the shortening has cooled, add in ¼ cup molasses, 1 cup sugar, and 1 egg. To minimize dirty dishes, I just use the pan instead of a bowl.
- In a separate bowl mix together the remaining ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the pan. This will make a somewhat stiff dough.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 min.
- Roll dough into balls then roll balls in sugar.
- Bake on a greased cookie sheet in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Cool on the cookie sheet for one minute then transfer to cooling rack.
