This is not your everyday cookie....but it should be! I didn't want to bake the traditional "chocolate chip cookie" because what's the fun in that! I love watching old movies & seeing the kids run in from playing outside to homemade cookies fresh out of the oven and all the love in the air fills the kitchen...ohhh how the times have changed! These cookies turned out amazing! I'm taking them to a friends house, but I sort of wish I made a batch for myself to eat when no one is watching ( I have a theory that if you eat cookies when no one is watching calories don't count!). Happy Friday cookie day!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3/4 cups Crisco (vegetable Shortening)
- 1/4 cup Molasses
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 cups Flour
- 2-1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix sugar, shortening, molasses, and egg together until well combined. Dump in dry ingredients, stirring dry ingredients together lightly. Mix together until dough is combined.
In your hands roll dough into walnut-sized balls, then generously coat each ball with sugar. Place balls on a baking sheet and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, allowing to bake for about a minute after cookies begin to crack.
Remove cookies from baking sheet and allow to cool…though these are delicious while still warm.
