Molasses Cookies


1 C shortening (or coconut oil)
1/2 C softened butter (1 stick)
2 C sugar
2 eggs beaten
1/2 C molasses
Mix this first part together in a mixer.  Plug your nose, it stinks.

4 C flour (1/2 white, 1/2 whole wheat or all white)
1 1/2 tablespoon ginger
4 teas baking soda
2 teas cinnamon
1 teas salt
Mix the dry ingredients together, then add to the moist mixture above

Roll the dough into balls in your hands, then roll in white sugar.  At Christmas, I use colored sugar. Place the cookie on a greased cookie sheet or parchment paper.  Bake in 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.

makes about 4 dozen
