The trick to getting 'chewy' cookies is to bake them the minimum time necessary and then cool them directly on a surface (i.e. - counter, table, etc). Don't cool them on a rack! You can also store them with a slice of apple. Ingredients:
3/4 cup melted shortening |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup molasses |
1 egg, beaten |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, blend the shortening, sugar, molasses and egg. Add the baking soda, flour, clove, ginger, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
3. Form into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar.
4. Place on cookie sheets 2 inches apart and bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool on a flat surface.
