Here are few recipes I have:
Molasses Chew Cookies
¾ cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup molasses
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground clove
2 ¼ cup flour
white sugar
In a large bowl cream together shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, molasses, egg, and vanilla. Add in all the dry ingredients until well mixed. Chill dough for several hours. Roll dough into balls, and then roll into white sugar. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes about 3 dozen.
Peanut butter cookies
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup butter softened
1 egg
1 ¼ cup flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup shortening
Mix sugars. Peanut butter, shortening, butter, and egg. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate 3 hours.
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet about 3 inches apart. With a fork dipped in flour flatten each ball with a crisscross pattern. They should be about ½ inch thick. Bake 9-10 minutes.
*You can flatten with the bottom of a glass if you don’t want a crisscross pattern.
*You can also place an unwrapped Hershey kiss on each cookie as soon as they come out of the oven. Make sure you press the kiss down hard enough for the cookie to come up on the sides a little bit. These are called peanut butter kisses.
Oatmeal Raisins
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter or margarine
¼ cup shortening
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 ½ cup oatmeal
1 cup flour
1 cup raisin
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix all ingredients except oats, flour, and raisins. Stir in oats, flour and raisins. Drop by rounded spoonful about 2 inches apart onto cookie sheet. Bake about 10 minutes or until light brown.
·You can use ½ cup raisins and ½ cup chocolate chips instead of just raisins.
·You can also use craisins instead of raisins
