Great Grandma Bradley Molasses Cookies

Hello! 

Today I'd love to share these wonderful molasses cookies with you. 

My great grandmother Bradley's recipe has been a treasure to my family for many years.

Whenever it's mentioned, everyone lines up for as many as they can coax me into giving them, and it was that way when I was a child to.

They are sweet, but not overly.  

They are a touch caky, but moist.

They are simply delicious!

Molasses Cookies

-Grandma Bradley

1 cup shortening (I use butter)

1 cup sugar

1 beaten egg

1 cup molasses

2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3/4 tsp ginger, 

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp allspice

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1 cup sour milk (just add a touch of vinegar to the milk)

4 1/2-5 cups flour

Stir it all together, spoon onto cookie sheet, bake 350F

This makes a big batch! 

Also if you like you can roll it into logs and chill before cutting. 

These cookies are great frozen once cooked, so you can have a stash in your freezer. 

Thanks for dropping by!  

Perhaps you have a recipe that has been passed down in your family that you love...

if so, do feel free to share!
