Molasses cookies amish

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Shortening
1½ cup Sugar; brown
2 Eggs
1 cup Molasses
1 cup Syrup, corn white or golden
1½ cup Milk
3 teaspoons Baking soda
1 teaspoon Ginger
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
6 cups Flour

Directions

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!!
