Instructions for Mrs Tomlinsons Cookies, Finalist

Cream together the sugar, shortening and ginger in a large mixing bowl. Add the molasses, milk, egg, baking soda and raisins and mix thoroughly. Stir in flour slowly until a stiff batter (not a dough) forms; cover and refrigerate overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees; coat a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray and dust it with flour. Pat the batter out on the baking sheet to a uniform 3/8 inch thickness and bake in a 350-degree oven 25 to 30 minutes. Cut into 2-inch or 3-inch squares and cool on a wire rack.

The cookies are named for the lady who gave the recipe to my emigrant Danish grandmother." Recipe by: Newport News Centennial Cookie Contest Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #834 by Sue on Oct 09, 1997
