Molasses Crinckles (aka Gingersnaps)


I got this recipe from Lisa Bearnson (scrapbooker extraordinare). I love them. The trick is to take them out of the oven as soon as they "crack" on top and then don't let them sit on the hot pan. Take them off quick! Enjoy!

Molasses Cookies

Cream together for two minutes:
1 cup shortening
1 cup butter
2 eggs

Add slowly and cream for five minutes:
2 cups sugar

Add to above mixture:
1/2 cup molasses
1 t. salt
4 t. soda
2 t. cinnamon
2 t. ginger
2 t. ground cloves
4 cups flour

Roll in balls, then in sugar.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. These are light and fluffy. Warning: You can't eat just one!Lisa Bearnson
