Checked off my Fun Fall To Do List!
Yum. Dough should be stiff.
Transferware plate from the auction trash.
Perfect for these cookies, don't you think?
I post this recipe every fall!
It's my favorite!
Fresh photo, though. ha.
Chewy Ginger Cookies
1 c oil
2 c sugar
1/2 c molasses
2 eggs
1 t salt
1 t cloves
1 t ginger
2 t cinnamon
4 t baking soda
4 1/2 c flour
Have mixer running and add ingredients in the order given.
Shape into balls, roll in sugar and bake 350 for 8-12 minutes,
depending on the size. (I use an ice cream scoop and sprinkle sugar
on the tops instead of rolling in balls~ so much faster!)
They should be dark and crackly.

MNM, yummy! They look perfect! A glass of super cold milk fits perfectly with these!
ReplyDeleteI had to put some in the freezer so I wouldn't gobble them all up myself! ha.
Deleteyumm! you always make the most delicious cookies Betsy!
ReplyDeletethanks, gloria! I love cookies! I was thinking pumpkin ice cream in between two would make a really yummy ice cream sandwich! ha.
Deleteahh I love Ice cream sandwichs sounds delicious!!
Deleteoh my...pumpkin ice cream between them would be amazing betsy...
ReplyDeletei like my snaps crisp usually but i think the soft ones would go well
with the ice cream...
I think I might have to try that! :)
Deletepicture perfect match plate and cookies!! MMMM, one of our favorite, we calll them Ginger Sparklers because of the roll in sugar before baking!
ReplyDeleteI thought so! Wish I had a whole cabinet full of that brown transferware! Love your name for the cookies, too!
DeleteLucky for me I filled up on pizza and snacks tonight, so I didn't get hungry reading this!
ReplyDeleteyep...lucky for you! :)
DeleteThose are my most favorite cookie and yours look delicious and they are on the perfect plate...Phyllis
ReplyDeletethanks Phyllis...our favorite, too....surprising, since they aren't chocolate...but they are the best and very addictive!
DeleteHey Betsy, you are going to have to do another list at this rate! Cookies look great though, I can almost smell them from here....
ReplyDeletehaha...well, I'm getting the easy stuff out of the way first! I have a few projects that I need to do during October, so there's no room for procrastination. lol.....
DeleteI wish I could reach out and take one! Yummy!! Take care
ReplyDeletex
I wish you lived close...I'd make a delivery! With treats for Charlie and Gum! :)
DeleteAny left? Boy, they make my moth water!!
ReplyDeleteGetting back into the land of the living slowly.
Hugs ~ Eddie
Hey! Well, yes there is...but I'd bake a new batch for you, you know! :) So good to see you...I've thought of you often and hoped you were doing well. Sending a big virtual hug your way....
Deleteisn't it rather late there? Up past your bedtime? lol....a cookie for a late night snack? :)
Yep it was late - I've been writing prose and could have done with some of you 'biccies' to aid my concentration!! All done now though and I will now treat myself to an early night! Thanks for the hug, much better to have than a biccie - oh! you call them cookies!! yer know what I mean . . . . don't I take, wait for it . . . . . THE BISCUIT!!! LOL
DeleteI've got myself a job, hopefully a permanent one, driving folks around in a minibus for our local Dial-a-Ride service. One of my passengers today was a wonderful lady aged 102. When I asked her to what she owed her longevity she replied that she chose her parents correctly but was disappointed that her elder sister lived only to 100!! ROFL
That job sounds perfect for you! I'm glad you're getting out and about after your very trying year. And, of course, you haven't lost your sense of humor...always giving me a smile. :) sweet dreams...
DeleteStill up and no early night!! LOL
DeleteYes, it would take much more than that to make me lose my sense of humour.
Q. How will we recognise Adam when we get to Heaven?
A. He has a rib missing and has no navel.
LOL
Ha! Good one! :)
DeleteWell at least those you can chew
ReplyDeleteSo I wouldn't curl my nose up too much at my zoo haha
pudding would get a 'no'
Deletebut a chewy cookies gets a 'go'!
ha.
Yeah any day
DeleteAt any bay
I love Ginger cookies and these look yummy. The plate is perfect!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? Very fallish!
DeleteOne of my favorite things about autumn (and there are many) is comfort food recipes. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI agree....nothing like fall foods!
DeleteMolasses and ginger are two of my favorite cookies. Perfect for fall.
ReplyDeleteI do love the plate! Maybe I should start a cookie plate collection.
I think that's a good idea! There are a lot of orphaned plates out there! lol....
DeleteOooh, one of those with a cold glass of milk please!!!!
ReplyDeletejust one? :)
DeleteThey look perfect with the sugar sprinkled on top! I like chewy cookies best.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love brown transfer ware. What a find!
I know...I have stifle little squeals of delight when I find something like this in the trash! :)
DeleteBetsy, I love the way they crackle. The plate... perfect. I posted your heart cloud on my blog this morning!! Tahoe is just refreshing my soul. Love this place.
ReplyDeleteI think we were on each other's blogs at the same time! :) LOVE the heart cloud...so glad you're enjoying yourself there!
DeleteLove the way they look. I'm a big crackle fan. The list is being checked off in good time.
ReplyDeleteSunny and a warm 80* again today after a little overnite rain. I'm waiting for the rain that will finally take the heat away for good.
Happy Monday!
JaG
You like crackly? How about snicker doodles? Or is that too much cinnamon? :) My sugar cookies have crackles, too. I guess I'm a fan like you! :)
Deletehope some cool weather comes your way!
Those cookies look so delicious, and I love the plate. Yes, perfect.
ReplyDeletethanks, Janice! :)
DeleteI can almost taste them just from looking at the photo, they look incredible!
ReplyDeletethanks, matt....they didn't last long, that's for sure!
DeleteThose cookies do look very good!!!
ReplyDeleteI have spent the evening reading back through old posts of yours, milady. I say, I'd love to have a couple of your hjomemade biccies as a late night snack! The plate is a beaut...and English, too. Most of that type of china is, I'll have you know. You would appreciate the cup I'm sipping from. It has a bird on it. I know how much you love your birds. Maybe even more than your precious feline friends. Thankyou for giving me a bright evening and good reading here on your lovely website. You are such an inspiration. And didn't I read some place about a new you with a different hair style and cosmetics? May I request a new photograph of to be posted soon? I know I would not be the only reader who would love to see what you have done to your lovely face. Cheers and thank you for warming this old heart of mine with your sunny disposition!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mr. A for your very kind words. :) I have to ask you, though, if you wouldn't call me milady. It's very sweet of you to call me that, but that pet name is already being used by someone near and dear to me. :) You can call me, Betsy, though! ha.
DeleteWould love to see your cup with the bird on it!
My sincerest apologies! I hope I didn't offend you, Betsy. Thinking of you with admiration today.
