Yes...it's been quite some time since I've been to the land of blogging. That doesn't mean I haven't been cooking, though. I have just been too busy to sit down and think of something witty to say and then type it all out. I did manage to make it through Thanksgiving without burning or under cooking anything! I also made my first turkey. I am not a fan of turkey, but after this one, I can't wait to make one for Christmas. I've been baking a lot of cookies lately. The kids are quite happy about that. They tend to prefer the cookie dough to the cookies. One of my all time favorites is molasses cookies. I don't know why I only make them this time of year, but it might also be a good thing that I only make them around the holidays. Whenever I make this recipe, I usually double it. These also freeze well!
Molasses Cookies
3/4 c shortening
1 c sugar
1/4 c Molasses
1 egg
2 c flour
2 t baking soda
1/2 t ground cloves
1/2 t ground ginger
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt
Melt shortening in a saucepan, then set aside to cool. Mix sugar, molasses, egg, and shortening together. Sift together flour, baking soda, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Add this to the sugar and molasses mixture. Mix well. Chill for an hour. Roll into 1 inch balls, then roll in granulated sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375.
