Poetry

If ever there was a poetic fruit, pears are it. Possibly pomegranates, strawberries, peaches, grapes, and certainly mangoes. Well, there goes the plug for my poetic pear.

Soft Molasses (Gingerbread) cookies

Thank you to Lynae K. for this soft gingerbread cookie recipe.  I love fresh gingerbread, but it hardens too quickly for my taste (although I'll still eat it, of course!).  So this recipe is perfect, and the kids LOVE to decorate the little gingerbread people.

1 c. butter or shortening
1 c. packed brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c. molasses
4 3/4 c. flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp ginger
1 tsp salt
3/4 c. sour milk

Mix butter, sugar, eggs, and molasses together.  In separate bowl mix dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture, alternating dry mix and milk.  Roll out on floured surface.  Cut out shapes, and bake at 375* for ten minutes.
