The cream of tartar is what gives snickerdoodles their characteristic tang. Perhaps you could add a little lemon juice or vinegar to make up for it. I would try 2 tablespoons (1 fluid ounce).Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttp://delightfulrepast.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-49325099487339101912013-09-27T23:03:51.177-04:002013-09-27T23:03:51.177-04:00my mom made these all the time when I was a kid. ...my mom made these all the time when I was a kid.

I hope...but the day is really getting away from me so far, so... we'll see.<br /><br />Definitely .. here's the recipe:<br /><br />Grandma Mac's Molasses Crinkles<br /><br />Mix together:<br />3/4 Cup shortening<br />1 Cup brown sugar<br />1 egg<br />1/4 Cup molasses<br /><br />Mix together:<br />2 1/4 Cup flour<br />2 tsp baking soda<br />1/4 tsp salt<br />1/2 tsp (ground) cloves<br />1 tsp cinnamon<br />1 tsp ginger<br /><br />Mix dry & wet ingredients together. Chill dough. <br />Roll into *balls*, dip in sugar, place cookies on sheet & 'dot' each *ball* with water.<br /><br />Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes.<br />(Recipe from my Great Grandma McFarland)<br /><br />It's been a long, long while since I've made them, so I can't think of any tips to give you, but I would imagine a lot of the same things apply as with the snickerdoodles. ;) You will have to be sure to tell me if you try them and how they turn out. They are a lot like 'ginger snaps', I suppose. ;)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13825026066797480342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-43739731499145281802013-09-22T02:59:31.460-04:002013-09-22T02:59:31.460-04:00I have got to try this recipe - does a grown-u dau...I have got to try this recipe - does a grown-u daughter count as a child? {grin}Ouch Potatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342564916734604495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-2157749230800605062013-09-19T19:55:38.439-04:002013-09-19T19:55:38.439-04:00I went back and looked...part of my confusion abou...I went back and looked...part of my confusion about when it took place also stems from the plate he's using: also Christmas.<br /><br />No judging...I do understand...just explaining my case, Your Honor. :)Mrs. Always Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05621796911952199649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-70930966606066048772013-09-19T10:58:22.687-04:002013-09-19T10:58:22.687-04:00I came over for more cookies.

One lick and it is off to the soap and water... while my MIL {bless her heart} licks her fingers every time between every pan and no washing, even while serving cake she uses her finger to push the cake off the cutter then licks her finger before the next slice of cake if I don't get the first slice I won't eat cake at her house! Same with anything that gets "stuck" on the spoon or server... <br />but<br />CONGRATULATIONS to Phoenix on the promotion in scouts!
