Sheldon, I know that you and a bunch of other people are going to love this.
Mary's Molasses-Raisin Cookies
3/4 cup of shortening
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of molasses
1 egg
2 tsp baking soda
2 cups of flour
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp of salt
1 cup of raisins (or more if you like)
Melt shortening in a saucepan. Let cool, empty into mixing bowl. Add sugar, molasses, egg and beat well. Sift in dry ingredients, mixing well. Chill. Roll into 1" balls, roll in sugar, and place on greased cookie sheet, 2" apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Now Rodney (does anyone have his email address?) can have one without digging it out of the ground!
