Title: MOLASSES COOKIES AMISH

Categories: Cookies, Penndutch

Yield: 1 servings

1 c Shortening

1 1/2 c Sugar; brown

2 Eggs

1 c Molasses

1 c Syrup, corn white or golden

1 1/2 c Milk

3 ts Baking soda

1 ts Ginger

2 ts Cinnamon

6 c Flour

This is from an Amish cookbook. I have modified the directions to explain

better: Cream the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, molasses and syrup.

Then sift together the dry ingredients and alternately stir in the flour

5 to 8 minutes in a

375 degree oven. The molasses in

the cookies make them very prone to burn so check often.. the recipe could

be halved as this makes about 80 cookies!! --
