There is no butter or shortening in this recipe just in case you thought I forgot.
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger
2. In a separate bowl stir together 1 cup flour, baking soda, ginger, lemon zest, and combine with the mixture in the first bowl. Then add more flour as you need. I used 3 cups in total.
3. Separate the dough into 2 parts and shape each part into a roll. You may need a little extra flour as you shape the rolls as the dough tends to be a bit sticky. Wrap in waxed paper and freeze.
4. Remove from freezer and slice the rolls into approx 1/4 inch slices and bake in a 350ยบ oven for 8 minutes.
5. Cool on rack. Spread jam between 2 cookies. I prefer wild plum jam.
Yield: 38 sandwiched cookies
all cookies tast best right out of the oven :)
ReplyDeleteOh I would love one of those today....or tow or three! I must try these. Kathy
ReplyDeleteThose look scrumptious! I think apricot jam would taste awesome on the cookies :-)
ReplyDeleteHow do I print a recipe from your site without all the color and side bars?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marianne

ReplyDeletemy mom stores them in ice cream pails, and when one is opened look out you better hurry if you want one.

ReplyDeletelove: your bestest g-daughter!
As always, Betty, your cookies look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat did I do wrong? It was VERY dry! I'm freezing right now and added 3/4 c milk.
ReplyDeleteDeSpain Family..I'm sorry to hear that the dough was too dry when you made these cookies, I have made these cookies numerous times and haven't had this problem..I'm not sure what I can say to do different..maybe use less flour..the dough should be sticky when you form them into a roll.
ReplyDeleteI hope your cookies turned out okay.
My cookies didn't work - they were too dry to even form logs! What went wrong?
ReplyDeleteBety says, these cookies are getting re-tested. Please bear with us. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI mixed up another batch of this dough today..the rolls are in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteI used 3 cups of flour..I'm still wondering where I got the 4 to 4 1/2 cups from??
I have now corrected that in the recipe.
So sorry about that..
These look so tasty-I love 'spicy' cookies. I'm glad I found the recipe after it had been 'corrected.' You ladies do a great job!
