I really like this Molasses Cookie recipe given to me by Nancy Madsen. I decided to make it my version by dipping the cookies in melted almond bark. Boy are they good!I think they look pretty-like cookies dipped in a little snow for Christmas!
MOLASSES COOKIES
3/4 cup shortening (I use 1/2 Crisco and 1/2 margarine)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 egg
2 tsp. baking soda
2-1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
Melt shortening-let cool. Add in sugar, molasses, and egg-beat well. Mix dries together and add to molasses mixture. Chill for at least 1 hour. Roll into 1" balls-roll balls in sugar and place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or until done. Remove from cookie sheet and cool on wire rack.
P.S.-Don't forget the baking soda. I made them the other day and I forgot to put it in. The cookies were little hard lumps of dough when I baked them!

Those do look so good. If they are dad's favorite, well then, I know I will love them. We didn't get to them today, but tops on the list for tomorrow.
Oh, they look good! Better than the candy, I hope. Sorry, but it was just a little too strong for me. Not to mention, I think it almost took my fillings out. Maybe if it was dipped in almond bark...?
