This is my mothers molasses cookie recipe.. They are very good. A very old fashioned recipe, no one will ever guess the secret ingredient. For a fun variation, substitute maraschino cherries for the raisins.
Recipe Ingredients
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup unsulfured molasses
- 4 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
- ¾ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons raisins
Cooking Directions
- 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a couple of cookie sheets.
- 2 In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and lard. Gradually mix in the egg, and molasses. Sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, dry mustard, instant coffee, and cloves; stir this into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
