An old friend named Fran gave me this recipe. All I remember is the cookies were good and Fran was a bowling buddy of mine. Those were the days. Yes, they were.
Yields 8 dozen
2 Cups Molasses
1 Cup Sugar
2 T Cider Vinegar
2 T Ginger
1/4 t Nutmeg
4 t Soda
1 Cup Shortening
1 Egg
7 Cups Flour
1 1/2 t Cinnamon
1 t Salt
Cream together shortening, sugar. Add egg, beat well. Add molasses and vinegar. Sift together flour, spices, soda, and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Add 1 cup boiling water. Mix well. If necessary add more flour to make a soft dough. Drop by teaspoons on greased baking sheet. Bake in moderate oven @ 350 degrees 10-12 minutes.

The future is right ahead of me and new projects seem to beckon... Friends and memories of times past remain with me today. I love to share my stories along with comments and opinions (of course) of today's challenges. Photography is my hobby and opportunities to capture the scenes before me are mine for the taking. Born and raised in Michigan, the peaceful woods and wildlife trails have always attracted me. Graduating from high school in the early fifties, college was of no interest to me. I have learned one important fact about life; whover decided when a person becomes "old"...didn't know what they were talking about...My theory is; you're as old as you think you are....(I'm thinking about it..haven't decided yet.)
