Made these again using General Mills Purasnow cake flour. they came out better tasting than GMAP flour. I like this flour but it has to be sifted before use IMO

I think of Maynard every time i make these cookies.

Mrs. Suszczynski's Molasses Cookies / Molasses Ginger Cookies

12 Tbs Butter (salted)... [added no salt to recipe] 169.5 g
1 cup sugar 200 g
1/4 cup molasses 80 g
1 egg
2 cups flour 320g
2 tsp baking soda 12.8 g
2 cups flour 320 g
1/2 tsp ground cloves 1.8 g
1/2 tsp ground ginger 1.8 g
1 tsp ground cinnamon 3.4 g

Yield [35] ± 3" inch cookies.

Cream butter, molasses and sugar until light and fluffy; add egg to butter mixture; blend well.

Add flour with spices, salt and baking soda, and add to first mixture; mix. Chill for at least one hour...or until batter is chilled enough for easy handling. Lay on cookie sheet. Form batter into balls about the size of walnuts (I used a food baller.) Place balls leaving 3 inches between the cookies...they will spread during baking.
Bake in preheated oven (350°) cookies start to darken, about 12 minutes. ±

Oh Guts, they look so good! How did you get them so perfect, the same size/shape?

Gloria I used a #40 "disher" or sometimes called a "food baller" you can see it in this picture, looks like a Ice Cream scooper.

Wow, Guts...very very nice!!!
