Welcome!

This is a collection of recipes passed down by the Houghton sisters ~
Barbara, Dorcas & Frances.


An idea that became a reality when family bonded together to gather recipes from the past. I would like to thank everyone for their submissions. Many a memory we have from these tasty treats and hopefully by putting them all together ~
many more can be made.


Enjoy!

***THIS IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION ~ I THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

Cookies ~ Gingersnaps


Gingersnaps


3 cups flour

2 tsp Baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1tsp cloves

2 tbsp ground ginger

1 ½ c shortening or bacon drippings (less if shortening)

2 eggs

½ cup molasses

Sift together the dry ingredients.

Cream shortening/bacon drippings, add the eggs, then molasses.

Add dry ingredients.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Drop onto cookie sheets, mark with a fork, cook for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven, let sit for 2 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.

This also a good recipe to double, and put the extra in the freezer,

and slice off what is needed.

No need to mark with a fork, if you are cooking them out of the freezer.

Great if friends/family drop by for a visit!!!
