Radical Recipes

Ginger Bread Cookies
From the Scovil Bakery in Nauvoo, IL

1 C Sugar
1 C Sorghum or Molasses
3/4 C Oil or Lard
1/2 C Hot water
Combine the above. Rinse molasses out of the cup with the hot water.
Add 2 eggs.
Mix together the following:
1 tsp soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 heaping tsp ginger
6-7 C flour--use 1/3 whole wheat
Use more flour if needed
Refrigerate dough. Roll out and cut with cookie cutter. Bake at 350 deg. for 10 min. If you don't refrigerate before baking, only bake for 8 min. Dough may be frozen. I didn't have quite enough molasses, so I used some brown sugar to make up the difference and they turned out great! These cookies are great plain, but I am sure they would also be good frosted.

Wonderful Wisconsin

We live in Wisconsin, home to cheese, milk and other fine dairy products. We are still new here in Wisconsin, but as I discover new places to visit, I will add them to this section of my page.
