The girls and I made molasses cookies today. They are one of my favorites. I thought I would share the recipe I use:
1 cup butter- softened, 1 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup molasses, 2 eggs-slightly beaten, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 1/4 tsp. baking soda, 2 1/4 tsp. ground ginger, 1 1/4 tsp. ground cloves, 4 cups flour (I use 3 cups whole wheat and 1 cup unbleached all purpose) Combine all ingredients and drop by spoon onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 min. Sprinkle tops with sugar.
These cookies always make me think of fall, however it has been pretty warm here today, upper 80′s. The night temperature though has been cooling down nicely. It was mid 50′s this morning, nice sleeping weather.
Enjoy your day and God bless.
Your cookies always make me hungry. Your molasses cookies remind me of Christmas time and my Nanny’s ginger snaps
Those look wonderful. How did they turn out with the whole wheat? I think I might make some for our trip this weekend.
Have a great evening.
