Ginger Creams Cookie Recipe – Ginger Cremes
Mom has made these ginger cream cookies for more than 40 years. My brother and I would devour them. These cookies were one of our most favorite snacks! They are super simple to make and they store really well.
To save on measuring cups, I put the shortening in the measuring cup first and then measure the molasses. The molasses will slip right out with the extra bit of grease left in the measuring cup from the shortening.
If you don’t have all the spices on hand but you do have pumpkin spice, you can just use 2 1/2 teaspoons of that instead.
