Crispy Molasses Cookies

Langkah-langkah

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the shortening, sugar, nutmeg, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, beating until well combined. Beat in the eggs and molasses.
3. Add in the flour a little at a time. If it becomes too tough to beat with the mixer, you can use a wooden spoon to beat in the rest.
4. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and nutmeg.
5. Shape dough into 1½ inch balls. Roll balls in the sugar mixture. Place balls 2½ inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
6. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until tops are cracked and edges are firm. Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
