LOOKING for: Old fashioned soft spice cookie

20 years ago

Hi I am in need of an Old fashioned soft spice cookie. The one that I am thinking of is dark and soft. It might even have a small amount of cocco in it. They do not flatten out much when baked. I hope someone out there has a tried and true recipe for me!

TIA

I like these & they are soft - from Craig Claiborne:
MOLASSES DROP COOKIES (about 3 dozen small cookies)
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup molasses
1 egg
1 3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cider vinegar
2 TBL water
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup raisins, optional
Chocolate frosting, optional

Preheat oven to 350Â°. Beat the shortening & sugar until light & fluffy. Beat in the molasses, egg & 3 TBL of the flour.
Sift together the remaining flour & the other dry ingredients. Mix together the vinegar, water & buttermilk. Add alternately to the molasses mixture & beat batter until it's very smooth. Stir in raisins, if using.
Drop teaspoons of the mixture onto greased cookie sheets. Flatten dough, if desired. Bake 12-15 minutes. (Don't overbake). Cool. Top each cookie with a dime-sized round of chocolate frosting if you want to.~~
