When I was a child, we always looked forward to visiting my aunt's farm. As soon as we arrived, she'd offer a plate of these chewy treats. We called them Cry Baby Cookies because we thought the three raisins on each one resembled two eyes and an open mouth. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup molasses |
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 cup 2% milk |
1 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
2. Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Arrange three raisins on each cookie. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 5-1/2 dozen.
