Molasses Crinkles
I figured a cold January day was a good time for a molasses recipe. This recipe was written in Mom's handwriting, but she didn't include any instructions...not even the baking temperature! I followed my cookie making instincts and they turned out really good.
2/3 c. shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/4 cup flour
Cream together shortening, sugar, egg & molasses. Stir in all of the dry ingredients. Shape into balls and then roll them in sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 to 12 mintues, or until they "crinkle".

Are they chewy or crunchy?
ReplyDeleteThey are soft right out of the oven, but get slightly crispy as they cool, but not as crunchy as a gingersnap. Store them in an air tight container.
