How to Make Memo's Molasses Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the molasses.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the nuts (optional).
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out cookies. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
