This is my mothers molasses cookie recipe.. They are very good. A very old fashioned recipe, no one will ever guess the secret ingredient. For a fun variation, substitute maraschino cherries for the raisins. Ingredients:
1 cup margarine |
1 cup white sugar |
1 egg |
1 cup unsulfured molasses |
4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons ground ginger |
1 teaspoon mustard powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules |
3/4 cup milk |
4 tablespoons raisins |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a couple of cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and lard. Gradually mix in the egg, and molasses. Sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, dry mustard, instant coffee, and cloves; stir this into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
3. Drop cookie dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Press a raisin or maraschino cherry into the center of each one. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.
