This is a classic recipe mom would make every winter. These are absolutely delicious.
This is direct from the actual recipe card:
1 c. Molasses
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. shortening
1/2 c. hot water
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
2 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
Add flour to make a soft dough.
Sprinkle with white sugar.
...
Yep.
That's it.
I'm betting it would work well to slowly add flour and mix until you get that soft dough... and before you sprinkle with white sugar, it's probably a good idea to form the dough into balls and squish them down with a fork to get interesting ridges, then sprinkle with the white sugar. Then I'd probably bake at something like 350F until the edges are going goldeny-ish.
Mum? Can you remember?
This is the tenderflake lard recipe for the original klondike gold rush cookies. You have it right, make small round balls, place on cookie sheet, squish with a fork, sprinkle with sugar, bake at 350 until they spring back to the touch.
