Lumberjack Cookies

By BeantownBaker

I got this molasses cookie recipe from my mother in law because my husbands loves them so much. They're a great addition to any Holiday cookie tray.

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup shortening
• 1 cup dark molasses
• 2 eggs
• 4 cups sifted flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ginger

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Cream sugar & shortening.

Add molasses and unbeaten eggs. Mix well.

Sift together the dry ingredients and stir into the wet.

Put 1/4 c. sugar in a small bowl. Pinch off a ball of dough (or use a cookie scoop to portion the dough) and roll
into shape/size of a walnut, roll in sugar.

Place on greased cookie sheet and bake 350 for 12-15 min.

You can also put these onto the cookie sheet and freeze to be baked later.
