Molasses Cookies VI recipe

4 servings

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup molasses

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Grease cookie sheets.

In a large bowl, stir together the butter, molasses, sour cream, brown sugar and vinegar until smooth and well blended.

Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger and cinnamon; stir into the molasses mixture.

Dough will be very stiff when complete.

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness.

Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters.

Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven.

Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cookies can be iced, when cooled, with any standard icing recipe.
