1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mild-flavor molasses
*i use regular molasses because i love the taste.
1 egg
3 cups gold medal® all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375ºF.
2. Mix sugar, butter, shortening, sour cream, molasses and egg in large bowl.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients.
4. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
5. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until almost no indentation remains when touched in center.
6. Cool slightly then remove from cookie sheet.

10. Special Touch:
11. Instead of a sprinkle of sugar, dress up these moist spice cookies with your favorite white frosting.
12. Note:
13. Before measuring the molasses, spray the measuring cup with cooking spray; the molasses will slide right out of the cup!
