       Title: MOLASSES COOKIES AMISH
  Categories: Cookies, Penndutch
       Yield: 1 servings
  
       1 c  Shortening
   1 1/2 c  Sugar; brown
       2    Eggs
       1 c  Molasses
       1 c  Syrup, corn white or golden
   1 1/2 c  Milk
       3 ts Baking soda
       1 ts Ginger
       2 ts Cinnamon
       6 c  Flour
  
   This is from an Amish cookbook. I have modified the directions to explain
   better: Cream the shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, molasses and syrup.
   Then sift together the dry ingredients and alternately stir in the flour
   and milk.  Bake for 5 to 8 minutes in a 375 degree oven. The molasses in
   the cookies make them very prone to burn so check often.. the recipe could
   be halved as this makes about 80 cookies!!
