Math and his friend made some delicious Molasses Crinkles over the weekend with me. We made two batches. One with shortening and white sugar and flour, and one with butter and whole wheat flour and cane sugar (to see if we could tell the difference). Guess what? You can't! Yum!
Molasses Crinkles:
3/4 C shortening or butter
1 C sugar
1 egg
1/4 C. dark molasses
2 C. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1. Cream shortening and sugar
2. Add molasses and egg - beat well
3. sift all dry ingredients into wet
4. chill dough at least 1 hour (or overnight)
5. form into balls and roll in granulated sugar
6. bake 350ºF on un-greased cookie sheet 12-15 min.
Yum!
I love that you tried it both ways and that it worked. Sounds so yummy!
