How to Make John's Roll Out Molasses Cookies
- In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the molasses, and beat well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, allspice, ginger, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly flour your work surface.
- Roll out the chilled dough to 1/4-1/2 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set and slightly firm to the touch. Do not overbake!
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
