My grandmother had wonderful friends. Sadly, most of them have passed away over the years. I'd argue one of the best ways to remember them is by passing on some of their recipes. In honor of the baking spirit that arises within me during the holiday season, I want to share a delicious molasses cookie recipe. It comes from my grandmother's dear friend, Grace Mary- whom I remember for these cookies (and awesome land we used to watch 4th of July fireworks on every summer).
Grace Mary's Molasses Cookies
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup molasses
1 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vinegar
1 tsp. cinnamon
-Preheat oven to 350 degrees
-Mix sugars, butter, eggs, vinegar and molasses in medium-sized bowl
-Mix dry ingredients in separate, large bowl
-Combine ingredients and chill dough at least 1 hour (long enough so the dough will not stick to your hands when rolling into balls)
-Roll into ping-pong sized balls and roll in sugar
-Bake on greased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes
