It May Be New or Old

I found an old recipe that my mom use to make called Frozen Molasses Cookies. I don't think Murphy or either my sons Bart or Sawyer every had them; it been so long ago if they had.
My mom been gone for 10 years now. I don't even remember the last time I even made them.

FROZEN MOLASES COOKIES
2 cups of sugar
2 cups of shortening (melted) this is a very important step if shortening isn't melt it doesn't come out right..
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla
3 Tablespoon of hot water mixed with
2 teaspoon of baking soda
5 and ½ cups flour
add the ingredients to flour below
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
½ teaspoon of salt

Freeze dough slice and dip into sugar bake at 350 for about 8 to 10 minutes

.

Please note I feel it took more then 5 ½ cups of flour more like 6 to 6 ½ cups. I add a ½ teaspoon of ginger for that let extra boldness.
I stick the mixing bowl of cookie dough in the fridge for a half hour to an hour letting it sit up so I can roll them.
Let them freeze firmly and slice about ¼ to 1/8 thick

Statement time...No it's not a turd

It hasn't been normal weather not sure what is normal it changes from day to day. I guess the weather is going though the change.
All ready for the short period we been in June. We got a 1 ½ inches of rain.

But gardening don't stop so over the weekend. We planted tomatoes, basil, and tomatoes (ground cherries) For the first time we're trying to go artichokes.
We add some carnation. I just love the smell of them. Plus planted two other types of flowers in veggie garden, straw-flowers and nasturtiums

I have to say the Frozen Molasses Cookies are great with nice hot cup of coffee on a rainy day. Dip them in nice glass of milk is also a great way to eat them
