Grandma Wolcotts Chocolate Jumbles (1912) image

Great Grandma Wolcott and Aunt Grace would make these delicious frosted cookies. They are like a chocolate ginger bread cookie and a cup of milk tops them off. I make them for Christmas to share with family and friends, and usually double the recipe.

Time 2h

Yield 60 jumbles

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pint molasses
1 cup light brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup lard, melted (more lard than butter)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/16 teaspoon clove, ground
1 teaspoon baking soda (in molasses)
6 bittersweet chocolate squares, melted (3 oz)
5 1/2 cups flour

Steps:

  • Mix soda into molasses then add brown sugar, eggs cinnamon, and cloves.
  • Melt lard, butter and chocolate, then add to mixture.
  • Sift in flour gradually, until stiff.
  • Refrigerate to make dough hard and easy to roll.
  • Roll out dough on floured surface until about 1/4 inch think.
  • Cut using a "jumble cutter" (great grandma use to have these custom made) or cut ino 4 inch circles with a 1 inch hole in the middle. You can also use cookie cutters.
  • Bake on ungreased cookie sheets for 7-9 minutes in 350 degree oven. The cookie edges will start to turn brown.
  • Make a frosting with water and powdered sugar and frost cookies.
  • Tip: If cookies dry out, place the heal of a piece of bread in the storage container.

I tried this recipe and the cookies came out flat and dry. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They're definitely a good choice for a quick and easy dessert.

I've been making these cookies for years and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love the way the chocolate chips melt in your mouth.

These cookies are the perfect combination of crispy and chewy. The chocolate flavor is rich and decadent, and the addition of nuts gives them a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again!
