Ruth,
Here's the recipe as I received it. My mods are at the end.
1/2 c molasses (i use blackstrap) and also used less than 1/2 c
2/3 c hot water
1/2 c raisins
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t baking soda
1.75 c ww pastry flour
Preheat oven to 350. Combine molasses, hot water and raisins. Boil for
5 min and then cool to room temp.
Mix remaining ingredients and stir thes into cooled molasses mixture.
Make spoonful size cookies and plaace on sprayed coolie sheet. I use
olive oil spray.
Bake for 10 min.
-----------------------------------------------
I used regular molasses and I did use 1/2 cup. I didn't wait for the
mixture to cool either. I didn't think it would hurt the other
ingredients. I use a scoop to make cookies uniformly and the scoop is
one of those European ones. It holds 1.5 T liquid, so the cookies were
good sized. I used parchment paper on my cookie sheet and that worked
just fine. The cookies are the cakey type and really were great.
Enjoy,
Kate
