Molasses Cookies
A modernized version of my grandmother's (Eva M. Koehler) molasses cookies--without the pearl ash. One of the great cookie treats of all time. This version is soft, chewy and more cake-like than what you will typically see. The egg wash topping is a truly lost art. For a lot of people this cookie will immediately transport you back to the middle of the last century and a simpler time. Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 cup baking Molasses (Brer Rabbitâ„¢)
- 1/2 cup Shortening
- 1 cup thick Milk (sour or add tsp of vinegar and mix lightly)
- 3 Eggs
- 2 tsp Baking Soda
- 4 cups Flour
Directions
- Cream Brown Sugar and Shortening together.
- Add Molasses until mixed.
- Add Milk, 2 well-beaten Eggs and Baking Soda.
- Mix in Flour.
- Drop table spoon sized globs onto well-greased cookie sheet.
- Beat remaining Egg and brush the tops of each cookie.
- Bake @ 400 for 8 minutes.
