A Little Unexpected...

Grandma Flanagan's Taylor Cakes / Molasses Cookies

1 cup boiling water

2 tsp. baking soda

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup Crisco

1 cup molasses

5 cups sifted flour

2 Tablespoons cinnamon

1 tsp. salt

1 pinch of cloves

2 beaten eggs

Dissolve baking soda in boiling water. Add brown sugar, Crisco, molasses, flour, cinnamon, salt and cloves to baking soda-water, and mix thoroughly. Add beaten eggs last and gently blend. Drop by spoonfuls (they do not spread) onto a greased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425 degrees for 7 to 10 minutes. Yield: several dozen little cakes, depending on spoon size.

Frosting: Mix browned butter, a little cream and vanilla to flavor with enough confectioners sugar to spread well. Frost cooled cakes. Do not stack cakes, frosted or unfrosted.

This is a recipe from the 1800s, and makes soft, delicious molasses cookies. Mary Lois Barnes Flanagan was a 1910 graduate of the Lucy Webb Hayes Deaconess School in Washington, D. C.
