Prep:10 minutes
Cook:10 minutes
Total:8 hours 20 minutes
Yield:12 persons

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup shortening palm or vegetable
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup molasses
  • 2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the shortening or butter and sugar.
  • Add the eggs and molasses to the creamed mixture and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Add the flour mixture to the molasses-sugar mixture in increments, mixing well.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Roll out the dough to 1/4" thick and cut out circles. Place the cut-out cookies on a cookie sheet leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  • Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, making sure not to overbake. Cookies are done when they have a very slight tinge of brown around the edges.
  • Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before removing them to a wire cooling rack.
  • You may frost these cookies, but they have a wonderful simplicity not frosted.
