These old-fashioned cookies are semi-soft, midly spiced and have a rich molasses flavor. I love the baked on frosting. Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter flavor shortening |
2/3 cup light molasses |
1 egg |
1/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup margarine, softened |
1 1/2 teaspoons hot water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Lightly grease cookie sheets.
3. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, ginger, salt and soda.
4. In a large bowl, beat together brown sugar, shortening, molasses and egg until well blended.
5. Stir in the flour mixture.
6. Prepare the frosting.
7. Roll out the dough to a 1/4 inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut into desired shapes.
8. Place on greased baking sheet 1 inch apart.
9. Frost the cookies.
10. Bake 7-8 minutes or until edges are firm.
