Molasses Cookies- YUMMMMMM Both Egg and Dairy Free

These Molasses Cookies turned out to be an easy win. The same old recipe that I got from my mother and have been using for probably going on 40 years works just great at high altitude! The only substitution I make to the original recipe is Ener-G in place of the egg. 

 Molasses Cookies

¾ cup shortening (melted and cooled)

1 cup of sugar

¼ cup of molasses

1 egg or Ener-G egg replacer mixed to 

      equal 1 egg

2 cups flour

2 tsp baking soda

½ tsp cloves

½ tsp ground ginger

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

Melt and cool shortening.  Mixing all ingredients by hand, add sugar, molasses, and egg substitute (or egg).  Stir in remaining ingredients. Chill. Roll into balls and then roll in sugar.

Bake at 375° for about 8 minutes.

Yield: about 3 dozen
