Ingredients
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup molasses
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup strong cold coffee
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger

How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease cookie sheets.
-
Step 2: In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until the dough forms a very thick batter. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon. Use the spoon to mash the mixture against the side of the bowl if there are any bits of shortening not dissolved into the batter.
-
Step 3: Drop by the teaspoon 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets. Bake until the edges are firm and slightly darker than the rest of the cookie, about 10-15 minutes.
-
Step 4: Cool cookies on a wire rack, then store in sealed containers. Will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
