Comment préparer Long Johns
- Cream together 1 cup shortening, 1/2 cup softened butter, and 1 1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 cup molasses and 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1/4 cup boiling water. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough will be soft.
- Lightly flour your work surface with 1/4 cup of flour (if needed). Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto greased or parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
