Grandma Hetland's Molasses Cookies image

These were some of my favorite cookies when I was a little girl. This recipe actually comes from my Grandma Hetland's mom. She came from the Egeland family. Very Norwegian.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 c dark molasses
1 c sugar
1 c shortening
1 egg
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 c flour

Steps:

  • 1. Blend molasses, sugar and shortening. Add egg and spices. mix until combined then add flour.
  • 2. My grandmother did not give a measurement for flour. So I estimated. Her exact words, "put in enough flour to handle and make into balls. Keep the dough soft."
  • 3. Make into balls, press with a glass and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350* for 10 minutes.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They're also really easy to make, so that's a plus. I might try making them again with less sugar next time.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I might try adding a little more butter next time.
