Cinnamon Drops

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortening

3/4 cup sugar, divided

1 egg

3/4 cup molasses

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup boiling water

3 1/2 cups sifted flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and 1/2 cup of the sugar.

Add the egg, molasses, and honey, and beat until light.

Add the boiling water, flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl, and mix well.

In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and remaining 1/4 cup of the sugar.

Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls into the cinnamon sugar mixture, and roll to coat well.

Bake on greased baking sheets for 8 minutes, or until the cookies are a light brown on the bottom.

These drop cookies have a flavor reminiscent of gingerbread, and a wonderfully soft texture.
