So it nearly Christmas and it is cold and nasty out, in my house that usually means it's about time to flood the household with cookies. My stepmom is a much better baker than I, But I make the one cookie my old man really likes so I usually make a few batches, out of the four I made, like 7 cookies are left

The recipe:
Grandma Doig’s Molasses Crinkles

¾ c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 egg
4 T. molasses (1/4 c.)
½ tsp. Salt
2c. Sifted flour
2 tsp. Baking soda
1 tsp. Cinnamon
½ tsp ginger
½ tsp cloves

Preheat oven 375. Grease cookie sheets.
Melt shortening and cool. After cooling add sugar gradually to the
Shortening. Blend in beaten egg and molasses.

Combine flour, baking soda, cloves, ginger, salt, and cinnamon. Resift.
Add molasses mixture and mix well by hand. Place in frig. At least one hour.

After one hour, remove dough from frig, stir, and form into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Bake 8-10 min. Cool on rack.

Yummy when warm out of the oven. The only thing my old man really lements are loosing these Irons used to make a special sort of cookie he like that my great grandma used to make..She was Norwegian, apperantly They make some danm fine cookies.

My grandmother is norwegian, gave my mom a bunch of cookie recipies...they are all quite the yummeh. Can't spell them but I can eat them just fine! Only make them during Christmas time though >_<
