I
don't know about you guys...but I have a huge case of spring fever! All I want
to do right now is to be able to plant my garden and be able to sit on my front
porch and feel the nice cool spring breeze blowing on my face.....Oh sorry was
drifting of in spring there for a moment...SIGH!
Well
anyways, I decided to bake some of my favorite cookies to lift my spirits. What
are those cookies you may ask, just the most perfect tasty cookies ever...to me
that is....Soft Molasses Cookies!
So
here is the recipe...
Betty Crocker Soft Molasses Cookies
1
cup of packed brown sugar
3/4
cup baking margarine (you can use butter or shortening)
1/4
cup Molasses
1
egg (I used a fresh duck egg from my ducks)
2
1/4 cup flour (I needed about an 1/8 of a cup more)
2
tsp baking soda
1
tsp ground cinnamon
1/4
tsp nutmeg (this is my little twist)
1/2
tsp ground cloves
1/4
tsp salt
3
tbl granulated sugar
Pre-heat
oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl beat brown sugar, margarine, molasses, and
the egg with a mixer on medium speed (or you can use a spoon)
Stir
in the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the granulated sugar.
Shape
the dough (it will be messy) in a ball and roll it in the granulated sugar.
Place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake
for 13-16 minutes and put on cooling rack RIGHT after they come out of the
oven.
Enjoy!
These
are so tasty...they were a hit with my family!
