Fall is finally in the air and all I can think about is pumpkin, molasses and other spices that make fall baking so wonderful. One family favorite is Molasses Crinkles, a soft cookie with a hint of cloves, cinnamon and ginger. Just perfect with a cup of tea. Ingredients: 3/4 cup butter flavored Crisco 1 cup dark brown sugar (packed) 1 egg 1/4 cup Molasses 2 1/4 cup flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground Cloves 1/2 teaspoon ground Ginger 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon 1/2 cup granulated sugar reserved (to roll the cookie dough in) Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees and prepare your cookie sheets either by spraying with Pam, lining with parchment paper, or using a silicon baking mat. Mix the first four ingredients in a large mixing bowl with electric or stand mixer until fully incorporated, and light and fluffy. Then add the dry ingredients until fully blended. Scoop walnut-sized dough and form a ball. Roll in the reserved sugar and place on a baking sheet (12 to a standard cookie sheet). Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until puffy and slightly browned on the bottom. Do not over bake or they won't be soft. Let the cookies rest on the cookie sheet for about 1 minute before you remove them to a wire rack to cool. These will keep for about a week (if they last that long!) if you keep them in an airtight container. They also freeze well.
