Soft Ginger Cookies
I feel just terrible that I didn’t give you a link to my recipe for Soft Ginger Cookies last week. So terrible that I’m posting it for you today, giving this wonderful cookie it’s very own post.
Soft Ginger Cookies
Cream in mixer:
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
1/2 cup molassesThen add:
4 cups flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp each clove, ginger & cinnamonRoll into small balls and roll in sugar. Flatten slightly with a glass. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Makes about 8 dozen cookies.
The recipe originally came from the Now Ur Cooking listserve on quiltropolis and I printed it out in January of 1999. That’s a loooooong time ago and I’ve been making these cookies regularly ever since. Now you can, too!

Those sound just delicious! Just in time for my holiday baking, too! Thanks, Carole. 🙂
There is a weakness for ginger/molasses cookies in my house. I have a similar recipe. I may have to try both!
thanks for sharing! (have you ever tried substituting butter for the shortening?)
My how I love ginger cookies and yours sound amazing!

Yummy! I think ginger cookies are my very favorite. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Thanks, and those beautiful cookies look exactly like the cookies my sister and I made on Saturday. They are delicious! I wasn’t reading the recipe, I was creaming and mixing and she was measuring and sifting.
I made your Polish Tea Cakes cookies this weekend and everyone loved them- they are so delicious. I will keep this recipe in my favs along with your Pecan Cranberry Pie which is now one of our standard Thanksgiving pies. Thank you Carole!
MMMM Thanks Carole….I just may make them.
Oh, thanks! Just printed off the recipe. Today is cookie-baking day, so these just got added to the list. 8)
