My special neighbor, every Wednesday brings in my local paper, that is tossed out by mailbox and every other week brings me
a dozen fresh eggs from her chickens and I pass on my Sunday New York Times. This morning
she brought me 3 Molasses cookies, so good with my tea. Had forgotten this recipe, she shared
with me a year ago I made them and may have posted but cannot find.
Recipe is on the Molasses bottle..
1 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup of vegetable shortening (I use butter)
1 cup if molasses
1 large egg or 2 small ones
2 1/4 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp of ginger
1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup of water
1/4 cup of granulated sugar
combine sugar and butter, beat until light and fluffy
add molasses and egg
combine flour and spices, stir with a whisk
add sugar and flour, beat a low speed
cover and freeze for 1 hour
lightly coat hands with cooking oil and shape ingredients into 1 inch balls
place on cooking sheet that has been coated with cooking spray
375 for 8 minutes, cool on wire racks
recipe on bottle shares of dipping dough lightly in water and dipping in sugar

want to share with my special theraphist

I can remember when Medicare would pay for physical therapy over the year--if it were for different parts of our body. Now, I find that Medicare will pay for only a certain number of visits and then done. If we have another area that needs work--we have to wait until the new year.
Judy, you are so right. Visits have stopped, unless I fall again or emergency :(
I could almost TASTE those cookies just reading that recipe! Yum!
I am glad that you have such a nice neighbor, especially one who brings food!
Rebecca, going to try this weekend and bake :)
Tabor, she tells me her husband says she sends such a small amount
and she replies "she does not eat much"
