Christianson’s Famous Molasses Cookies

A holiday favorite here at the Nursery from Toni Christianson’s family recipe book…

1  1/3 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses (dark)
4 cups flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsps cinnamon
2 tsps ginger

Beat butter until soft and add sugar; add one egg at a time, then molasses.  Combine all dry ingredients together and sift.  Add several tablespoons at a time.  Do not over mix.  Roll into 1″ spheres and then roll in sugar.  Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes (depending on your oven).   Enjoy!
