" Moose Hunters" or Cape Breton Molasses Cookies
Testing out a recipe found on the internet for Molassess Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 cup butter (soft)
- 1 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tsp soda
- 1 egg egg
- 1 tsp ginger
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 cups flour, all purpose
Instructions
- Mix the soda with the milk
- Combine all ingredients in bowl and mix till forms soft dough
- Roll out and cut on a floured board using a round biscuit cutter. Need to make "fat" or thick cookies since these are often called "Fat Archie" cookies
- Bake moderate oven 350 degrees F until done.
Notes
Found recipe in the FB group for Christmas Cookies.
These were okay but not what I expected based on reading the post in the FB group. Did an internet search and found similar recipes called Cape Breton Molasses Cookies or Archie's. Was expecting much fatter cookies so not sure if I needed to have thicker rollout before cutting. Taste was fine but sort on bland side. Prefer a more spicy black pepper taste in a molasses cookie.
