70 cookies
- Serves:
- 30
ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks)
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 large egg
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger

directions

- Combine the dry mixture into the wet mixture, until incorporated.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roll flat (to about 1/4" thick), and cut into desired shapes. It does help a bit if you chill the dough for about 30 minutes first, but I hardly ever do!
- Bake for 5-10 minutes, depending on size and thickness of cutout shapes.
- Cool on a wire rack, and decorate as desired.

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
