Molasses Ginger Cookies Recipe

Name: Molasses Ginger Cookies
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1.5 teaspoons baking powder; 0.25 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 3 eggs; 2 cups flour; 1 teaspoon ginger; 0.5 cup molasses; 1 cup shortening; 0.25 cup sugar; 2 teaspoons vanilla

These molasses ginger cookies are soft, chewy, and warmly spiced with cinnamon and ginger. The recipe uses shortening, which helps create a tender crumb and keeps the cookies from spreading too much. After mixing, the dough gets chilled, which makes it easier to handle for shaping into rolls or individual cookies before baking. They come together in about 45 minutes, including baking time.
