Molasses Sugar Cookies
These are a wonderful chewy spice cookie. They are drop cookies that keep very well. I make them at the beginning of the holiday season and they keep all the way to New Year’s!
Melt the shortening in a large pan on the stove and cool.
Add sugar eggs and molasses beat well.
In a separate bowl sift dry ingredients together and add to the pan.
Mix well and chill 3 hours or overnight.
Form into walnut-size balls.
Roll in granulated sugar.
Place on greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes.
