Delicious and festive molasses cookies that are egg-free...you honestly can't tell the difference!
Ingredients:
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup soft brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup boiling water
3 cups plain/all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
small bowl of skim milk
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Put the molasses and sugar in a bowl.
3. Add butter to boiling water and when it is melted, add to molasses mixture. Add sour cream and blend. Add remaining ingredients and blend well. Refridgerate for 1 hour.
4. If dough is sticky, add a bit more flour. Roll into balls and put onto a greased baking tray. Leave room for expansion. Use a spoon dipped in milk to flatten cookies and make them shiny. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
5. If desired, top with cream cheese icing and sprinkles. Yum!
