I have lots of recipes and I enjoy trying new recipes but I only keep the ones my family approves of. I decided one day to put my recipes where they are more organized and I can access them anywhere. I don't have fun pictures to go along with the recipes and hopefully one day I will, but between dancing around our dog and 3 small children, I only have time to cook and then get the food on the table.

Many of my recipes have come from amazing friends and family that where nice enough to share, and I have given them props for it. So if you find something you like please just give props to the appropriate person.

Soft Ginger Cookies

This recipe comes from our neighbor; her husband was our home teacher and would bring them to us all the time. They never lasted long; they are super soft and chewy.

4 Cups flour
4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cloves
2 tsp ginger
3 tsp cinnamon
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup shortening
1/2 cup molasses
Sugar, for coating

Sift flour, baking soda and spices. Blend sugar, shortening, molasses and eggs. Mix well. Slowly add flour mixture. Roll into balls ad roll balls in sugar until covered. Bake on greased cookie sheets, at 350*F, for 10-12 minutes. Makes 120 cookies. To keep them soft, store in airtight container.
