This was my Grandmother's recipe. It is a molasses cookie with coffee in it. Ingredients:
1 cup shortening |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 cup brewed coffee |
1 cup molasses |
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
5 tablespoons water as needed |
2 cups white sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Dissolve the baking soda in the coffee.
3. Cream the shortening with the white sugar. Beat in the eggs, coffee mixture, molasses, vinegar, 1/2 cup of the cocoa powder, spices, and flour. Dough should be thick and slightly sticky. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool, then glaze.
5. To Make Glaze: Combine the confectioner's sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa, and enough water to achieve a desired spreading consistency. Beat until smooth.
