Hi, Everyone!
It's almost Christmas! Hope you are all coming along on your preparations without too much stress! We decided to give our grandchildren money this year (how tacky, huh?!), so I made these little money cards. They were quick and easy, and I think they're kinda cute!
And if you're looking for a new cookie recipe, here is my all-time favorite! My Mom used to bake these, and whenever we took our sons to Grandma's house, they devoured them! So, although they are *correctly* called Ginger and Spice Cookies, at our house they will always be called Grandma Cookies! They are dee-licious with a cold glass of milk or a hot cup of tea! Enjoy!
Ginger and Spice Cookies
1 ½ cups margarine
2 cups sugar
2 eggs, slightly beaten
½ cup molasses
5 cups flour
4 tsp. baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. ginger
Additional sugar for rolling the cookies in.
Cream margarine. Add sugar and continue creaming.
Add eggs and molasses. Beat well. Sift flour with baking
soda, salt, and spices. Add to margarine mixture. Mix well.
Shape into balls about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Roll in sugar.
Place 3 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake at 350°about
15 minutes. Do a test cookie – sometimes you need to
add a little more flour.
