Molasses cookies are one of my favorites, and they are easier to roll out on lightly floured waxed paper with a piece of plastic wrap between the dough and the rolling pin.
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

- 3/4 cup molasses
- 5 1/4 to 5 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon ginger

Preparation:
Add soda to sour cream; set aside Cream sugars with butter and shortening. Beat in eggs and molasses. Add spices, flour, and sour cream, stirring until mixed. Chill for about 1 hour. Roll out
on a floured board and cut about 1/4-inch thick with cookie cutter, thinner if you'd like crisper cookies. Sprinkle cookies with a little granulated sugar or cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350°
