At last night's meeting we shared some favorite holiday recipes. Mine is below. It is a traditional recipe with no modifications. (It comes out great with Ener-G egg replacer.) Have a favorite recipe, send it to me and I'll post it on the blog.
Soft Gingerbread Cookies
2/3 cup cooking oil
1 c sugar
1 c molasses
1 egg (or egg replacer equivalent)
3 tsp baking soda, dissolved in 1/2cup boiling water
5 ½ c flour
3 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
Beat together oil & sugar. Add molasses & mix well. Add boiling water/soda. Add egg. Add dry ingredients, mix well. Chill several hours or overnight. Roll out to ¼ inch thick on floured & sugared board. Cut cookies & bake on greased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes in 400 oven. Watch carefully.
This recipe is at least 150 years old. These are fat, puffy gingerbread cookies that make excellent gingerbread boys & girls. Makes oodles of cookies!
