The baking has begun and I will posting some of my favs if anyone wants to try them!
Ginger Cookies... they are fantastic!!!!
* 2 cups sugar
* 1 1/2 cups margarine or butter softened
* 1/2 cup molasses
* 2 eggs
* 4 1/2 cups flour
* 3 tsps baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 2 tsps cinnamon
* 1 tsp cloves
* 1 tsp ginger
* 1/2 tsp nutmeg
* Sugar for rolling
Beat sugar, butter,molasses and eggs until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate for 1 hr. Heat oven to 350. Shape dough into
1 inch balls, roll in sugar and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookies. For those of you who have baking stones, I highly recommend using them, the cookies always turn out better. Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes or until set. The cookies will puff then flatten out during baking and have a crinkled look to them. Cool 1 minute before removing from sheet/stone. This recipe makes about 10 dozen and can be frozen up to 6 months.
