Shaker spice cookies

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Stephen Ceideburg
⅔ cup Vegetable oil
1 cup Sugar
¼ cup Molasses
1 Egg
2 cups Flour
2 teaspoons Baking soda
½ teaspoon Cloves
½ teaspoon Ginger
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ teaspoon Salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the vegetable oil, sugar, molasses and egg into a mixing bowl and using a spoon, beat until well mixed.

Combine the flour, baking soda, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and salt in a bowl and stir with a fork until well mixed.

Add to the liquid ingredients and stir until blended.

To make 2½-inch round cookies use 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie (I use a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, but you can roll the dough into 1-tablespoon-size balls by hand if you don't have a scoop.) Drop the dough 2-inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Pat each rounded ball down just a trifle.

Bake for 10 or 11 minutes.

Yields 48 cookies
