| Molasses Home Style Cookies In order listed, combine: ¾ cup cooking oil. I use canola 1 stick margarine - or butter – I use butter most of the time….margarine is just fine though. 1-l/2 cups brown sugar ½ cup dark molasses – unsulfured , Blackstrap is the Best choice. 2 eggs 1/8 teas. Cream of tartar 1 teas. Powdered cloves 2 Tab. Postum drink powder 1-l/2 teas. Baking soda ½ teas. Baking powder ¼ teas. Salt ½ teas. Ginger ½ teas. Nutmeg ½ teas. Vanilla 4-l/2 cups unbleached flour Mix very well in your mixer….Shape dough into balls using about 1-l/2 tablespoon……Roll into nice balls and then roll them into a bowl of white sugar till coated. Place 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets…………. Bake at 400 for 5 minutes………use a timer. Pull out the cookie sheet and gently flatten with back of a spatula with holes in it..( each cookie) Little bit of dough will pop out and will give you that cracked look. Return to oven and bake another 4 minutes……………. Remove promptly.………let cool on sheets for 5 or 10 min…………… Gently put cookies on a cooling rack - store in tight fitting container after they are cool…… The recipe says to use 400 degrees……….sometime, I use 375 degrees……..you can experiment……..they might look undone when you first take them out of the oven, but as they cool, they set up just Right. ( I prefer 375)……watch them…ovens can be different. Janice Connell |
