This recipe came from Mary's mother. Aunt Elsie came to visit and Mary asked Sarah to make these cookies. Not much made Aunt Elsie happy but having these cookies sure did. She even had to double up on insulin so she could have one but did it and said it was well worth it, reminded her of her childhood. Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 egg yolks |
1 cup molasses |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon ginger |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 cup boiling water |
flour, enough to make stiff batter |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons water |
1/4 cup white karo |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Seperate the egg whites from yolks you will need both in this recipe.
2. Cream shortening and sugar together. Add egg yolks, mix well.
3. Add enough flour to make a stiff batter. Then add remaining ingredients and mix well.
4. Pour in a greased jelly roll pan(deep cookie pan) and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minute.
