Nana's Molasses Cookie Recipe

Molasses Cookie Recipe  

Would you like to make the worlds most delicious Molasses Cookies? If so, follow the directions below, to make my Nana Joan's recipe. Warning: These cookies are extremely addictive, to the point you can eat 20 of them and not feel sick, so yeah, I warned you ;)

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup Crisco
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 1 egg
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cloves
• 1/2 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt

 Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Mix DRY ingredients in a medium/large bowl
• Mix the rest of the ingredients (molasses, Crisco, and egg) in another bowl
• Mix all ingredients together, the mixture will be somewhat dry, usually I have to hand mix it towards the end, to get everything together
• Roll dough into 1" balls and then roll in sugar (I put a bit of sugar in a small to bowl to cut down on mess)
• Place balls onto an UNGREASED baking sheet
• Bake for 8-10 minutes
• If you want them soft/chewy bake for 8-9
• If you want them crunchier bake for 10
• These will LOOK a bit uncooked when you take them out, DO NOT cook longer or they will be hockey pucks.

 Recipe makes about 40 cookies
