It's week 8 already of April's 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies linky party. Each week I look forward to seeing the pictures of the yummy recipes for Christmas cookies and sweets!
Today's recipe is one that I knew I would include when I first thought through joining April's blog party. I think these were my grandmother's absolute favorite cookie and she made them all the time!
Gram's Sorghum Cookies
1 c. sugar
3/4 c. shortening
1 egg
1/4 c. sorghum or molasses
1 t. vanilla
2 c. flour
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. ginger
1 1/2 t. baking soda
Mix sugar and shortening together until well blended. Add egg, sorghum and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until they are completely combined. Roll dough into 2 inch balls and roll in sugar. Place sugared balls onto greased baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
