submitted by Mrs. T1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 Tblsp. dark molasses
1 egg
3 1/4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 Tblsp. cinnamon
1 Tblsp. ginger
1 Tblsp. cloves
Juice and grated rind of 1 orange
Cream butter with sugar until light and fluffy; add molasses and egg.
Mix until blended. Sift flour, soda and spices into creamed mixture.
Add orange juice and rind; mix until well blended. Roll dough on
lightly floured surface to 1/8” thickness. Cut into heart or reindeer
shapes. Transfer to cookie sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes,
until brown. Cool on rack and store in a covered tin. Makes at least 3
to 4 dozen cookies.
I found this recipe in an old Country Woman magazine. The lady who
submitted it said that these were the first cookies she baked each year to make her house really smell like Christmas. It works! Of course, you need not limit yourself to hearts and reindeer; that’s just what I did. This year I cut some pine trees and moose as well!
