Last Thursday I featured author Susan Page Davis on my blog, a multi-published author whose newest release is a children’s book, a fairy tale. If you missed the interview, check it out. Today she shares a recipe from her sister that will undoubtedly please the kids as well as the kid in you!
Ginger Chews
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup Crisco (I use butter flavor)
1 1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup molasses
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
Cream till fluffy
Sift together:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 t. cloves
1 tsp. baking soda
Add to creamed mixture
Roll in balls (1 inch or so)
roll in sugar (I use equal parts brown & white for this)
Bake at 350 (or a little higher) for 10 minutes. Let sit on pan for a minute or two
before moving to racks.
Melt 1 cup white chips and drizzle over cookies when they are cooled.
Makes 3-4 dozen depending on size of cookies. Adjust time depending on time.
