Molasses Cookies Amish

Ingredients & Directions


1 c Shortening 1 1/2 c Milk
1 1/2 c Sugar; brown 3 ts Baking soda
2 Eggs 1 ts Ginger
1 c Molasses 2 ts Cinnamon
1 c Syrup, corn white or golden 6 c Flour

This is from an Amish cookbook. I have modified the directions to
explain better: Cream the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs,
molasses and syrup. Then sift together the dry ingredients and
alternately stir in the flour and milk. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes in a
375 degree oven. The molasses in the cookies make them very prone to
burn so check often.. the recipe could be halved as this makes about
80 cookies!!
