Instead of making the same old traditional chocolate chip cookies, I thought I'd try baking some molasses cookies. I've never made them before, so I was a little weary at first because of the name. But boy was I wrong, These cookies are awesome!
Cream shortening and sugar. Add molasses and sour milk. Mix dry ingredients with part of flour and add to batter. Mix in rest of flour to stiffen. Roll these into golf-ball sized cookies and place on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly, leaving quite thick. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes.

Soft, crinkle-coated with sugar, and spicy, these old-fashioned cookies are delightful.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Store the mix in an airtight container.
