Mammy's Molasses Cookies Amish Cooking Dessert Recipes

Preheat oven to 350° F. Mix together the shortening, sugar, molasses and milk. Place all remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl and blend them together: the soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt, cloves, nutmeg and flour. Add the dry ingredients to the liquid mixture. It should make a stiff, moist batter. If it is too moist, add a very small amount of flour. When thoroughly blended, roll out and cut with a cup or a cookie cutter. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
