Molasses Snaps
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 3/8 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup smoothly beaten cooked potatoes
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 cup sifted flour
- 1/2 teaspoon soda
- 3/4 teaspoon ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cream together shortening and sugar. Add potatoes and continue creaming. Mix in molasses.
Sift together the flour, soda, spices, and salt. Stir into the first mixture.
Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Flatten to a thickness of 1/8 inch, using a greased flat-bottomed glass.
Bake at 350° F. (moderate oven) until the cookies are lightly browned-about 15 minutes. Remove from the baking sheet and cool.
Makes about 30 cookies.
