Add a photoA modernized version of my grandmother's (Eva M. Koehler) molasses cookies--without the pearl ash. One of the great cookie treats of all time. This version is soft, chewy and more cake-like than what you will typically see. The egg wash topping is a truly lost art. For a lot of people this cookie will immediately transport you back to the middle of the last century and a simpler time.

I made a batch and they were very flaky, very much like a cake but their was a bitter after-taste. I later learned that 10 year old Crisco that has turned yellow is called "rancid" and should be disposed of immediately. That's why my profile says "Beginner". I'm really a pretty good cook, I just have some holes in my knowledge base. Despite the error, they were good--the birds seemed to enjoy them. So this review has a variation--"Do not use rancid shortening."Yo he cocinado/probado esta recetaEsta es una variación
