Spicy Molasses Cookies

Submitted by: Louann Manning 
I found this family recipe in an old cookbook on a timeworn note, handwritten by my stepdaughter's grandmother. It's a very soft, moist cookie--and tastes great with a big glass of milk.

During the 1930's and 1940's neighborhood children would stop on their way home from school to sample my mother's cookies. Dunked in a glass of cold milk, they were a snack that was hard to beat!

The kitchen smells so good when Mom is baking these yummy cookies, which we like to make with sorghum. They're chewy and tender, with a sugary coating. It's hard to eat just one! -Brenda Beachy Belvidere, Tennessee

These cookies were the treat we would enjoy when we traveled on family shopping trips to Ft. Worth many years ago. My sister, Carrie, always made them and put them in a foil-covered shoe box. By the time we got to Ft. Worth, they were all gone! Now my daughter makes these cookies for me, and at the age of 90, I still think they are the greatest treat.

'This cookie recipe from my 91-year-old grandmother was my grandfather's favorite,' shares Chris Paulsen, Glendale, Arizona. 'She still makes them and sends us home with the dough so that we can make more whenever we want, I love to make a fresh batch when company drops in.'

This recipe has been handed down through many generations of my husband's family. These cookies were always in his grandmother's cookie jar when he'd visit. Today, he enjoys them more than ever--and so I do.

These chewy cookies are made with molasses, brown sugar and shortening. To achieve the chewy texture, allow cookies to cool on a flat surface rather than a rack.
