CRISPY MOLASSES COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, ginger, and sugar. Add the soft butter, molasses and egg beating until smooth (about 2 minutes).
• Lightly stir in the rolled oats, just until mixed. Use a level tablespoon of the dough for each cookie. Drop the dough 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, do not over bake. If you like chewy cookies, remove them from the oven earlier (they will be lighter colour in the middle).
• Allow the cookies to stay on the cookie sheets a minute or so to get firm before removing then to a cooling rack.
• When cool, store in an air tight container.

Steps:

• Combine butter, sugar, and molasses in a large mixing bowl, mixing well; add eggs and vanilla, beating well.
• Sift together flour, soda, salt, and mace in a small mixing bowl; stir into butter mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in pecans.
• Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased and floured cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 8 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets, and cool on wire racks.
