MMMmmMMmmMMollasses~

If this dreary cold winter weather is going to keep up, well we may as well have some yummy belly warming cookies to go with it...and perhaps some tea.

People rather enjoy my Molasses Cookies, so here is the recipe.

They look great on the beautiful pottery dish given to us by Randy and Lena too!

Molasses Cookies:

1 Cup Brown Sugar

1 Cup Molasses

1 Cup Melted Shortening

1 Egg

(Mix the above ingredients)

4 Cups Flour

1 1/2 tsp Salt

3 tsp Ginger

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Cloves

(Mix the above ingredients)

Mix the 2 bowls above

Add:

1/2 Cup Milk

2 tsp Baking Soda

Refrigerate  (10-15 minutes)

Preheat Oven to 375

Roll dough into small balls, about an inch or a little bigger. Place on parchment paper. I also put the dough back in the fridge between batches in the oven.

Bake for 8-10 minutes
