Aunt Tricia's Molasses Crinkles
From Cortesi Food
Very excellent (and I don't even like molasses). Rachel eats these by the dozen.
- 3/4 cup soft margarine
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 cup raisins
- Granulated sugar
Mix shortening, sugar, egg and molasses thoroughly. Add dry ingredients. Stir in raisins. Chill, if desired. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough in 1 1/4" balls. Roll balls in sugar. Put them 3" apart on greased baking sheet, and bake 10-12 minutes.
Makes 4 dozen cookies.
