Ingredients:

  • 3 3/4 cup flour - may need a little more especially if you are rolling out
  • 1/2 teasp. salt
  • 1 teasp. cream of tartar
  • 1 tbsp. cinnamon (sometimes i add a little more)
  • 1 tbsp. ginger (sometimes i add a little more)
  • 1/2 teasp. cloves
  • optional ( not in the orginal recipe ) i add a pinch of finely gound black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 heaping cup of shortening ( good measure)
  • 1/2 cup + molasses
  • 1/2 cup (scant) dark karo syrup
  • 1 tbsp. vinegar
  • 1 teasp. baking soda
  • if the cinnamon and ginger are not strong add a little more so the cookies come out with a nice snappy taste

Directions:

  1. Mix together: flour, salt, and cream of tartar
  2. Then mix in the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.. mix well
  3. Add the shortening to flour mixture and cut in like pie dough
  4. In a medium bowl, beat egg with brown sugar and regular sugar until well mixed
  5. In a liquid measuring cup measure molasses little over a 1/2 cup (2/3 of a cup maybe)
  6. And the finish by adding the karo syrup to make 1 cup
  7. Add vinegar to the top of the molasses and karo syrup then hold over egg mixture and add the baking soda on top of the vinegar
  8. It will bubble a fizz all over!!
  9. Pour this mess into the egg mixture and mix well
  10. Then add that to the flour mixture mix well
  11. I find if I refrigerate the dough for a day or so before baking makes the cookies taste better
  12. Bake at 350' on a lightly greased cookie sheet for 8-10 mins
  13. If you are doing dropped cookies make a small ball and press down witha floured fork
  14. If you are going to roll out do it on a well floured board
