Instructions

1. In a large bowl, add the eggs and sugar and mix well.

2. Then Add Crisco OIL (or Wesson) and Molasses

I put the molasses in the measuring unit that I put the oil in, and makes it slip right out.

3. In a separate bowl, add the flour, salt, ground cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and baking soda. Mix well and then transfer to the eggs and sugar mixture and combine until everything is well mixed.

4. Let stand for 15-20 minutes.

5. Form into balls (about 1-inch rounds). Put granulated sugar in a wide short bowl, Roll in the sugar, placing them on cookie sheets (UNgreased). I only put 9 to a sheet.

6. Bake on UNgreased cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 350 F.

When done, allow to rest for 1 minute then carefully transfer to a cooling rack.

It’s easiest to use a spatula to transfer the cookies

“One of my grandchildren likes to spread softened butter on the bottom, so whatever floats your boat. Have with Milk, Tea, Coffee, or other Beverage of your choice….but most of all Enjoy Nanny’s Delicious Cookies!”

TIP:

I usually use paper liners, and take them out and put them on a wire rack and while still warm, I brush tops with butter and sprinkle large grain sugar (or other) on tops…..Enjoy
