JOHN'S ROLL-OUT MOLASSES COOKIES



John's Roll-Out Molasses Cookies image

A coworker of mine gave me this recipe. There isn't one exactly like it on Zaar, in that it uses allspice and has no eggs. It is a dense, spicy cookie that is rolled out and cut into shapes. Cooking time includes time to chill dough. I have halved the amounts in the original recipe because it made SO many cookies; hence the weird measurement for the shortening. It was originally 1/3 c. shortening, and this is the best I could come up with for getting half of that. Be sure not to roll them thinner than 1/4 - 1/2 inch (nor overbake) so that they keep their good, dense, kinda chewy texture.

Time 1h58m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons shortening
1 1/2 teaspoons shortening
3/4 cup dark molasses
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cold water
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons cold water

Steps:

  • Mix together shortening, molasses and brown sugar. Stir in 1/4 cup cold water.
  • Mix together the flour, salt and spices. Add to molasses mixture.
  • Dissolve soda in 1.5 teaspoons cold water. Stir it into the above mixture.
  • Gather up dough into a ball; on waxed paper, pat into a disk. Wrap up. Chill for at least an hour.
  • Roll out between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch thick. I thought 1/2-inch was a bit too thick, but it's up to you. Cut into shapes, specifically gingerbread men or bears. Gather up scraps, pat into a ball, reroll and cut into shapes, etc., until you have used most of your dough.
  • On lightly greased or sprayed cookie sheets, bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
  • These swell a little during cooking, so be sure to leave some space between them on the cookie sheets. Also, they taste better the day after baking when the spices have had a chance to meld with each other.

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 72 cookies, 72 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pint lard
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ginger
2 tablespoons baking soda
1 pint molasses
1 cup cold water (, or coffee)
6 -8 cups flour

Steps:

  • If you want to use vegetable shortening instead of lard, increase the amount by 1/2 cup I have never done this.
  • (I add cinnamon too).
  • Cream lard, sugars; add eggs, salt, spices, and baking soda.
  • Add molasses and beat well, add water slowly.
  • Stir in enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to roll.
  • (I chill dough for a few hours) Roll 1/4 inch thick (or thicker if you want cake-y cookies) and you may sprinkle with extra sugar.
  • Cut cookies, place on ungreased cookie sheets, bake in a 400 oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • They are done when you can press down with a finger and leave a dent.
  • Cool on wire racks.
  • I prefer to gauge doneness by looking at the underside of the cookie and seeing how brown it is.
  • If you want a cake-y cookie, don't let the cookies get dark browned, you want them golden, dark tan.
  • Baking time will vary with the size of your cookies too.
  • Small ones take a lot less time to bake.
