Molasses cookies are so good. They stay soft and soft cookies are my favorite kind. I don't cook with shortening. Butter works just fine in this recipe. Sometimes butter will make the cookie crisper, but in molasses cookies, it doesn't seem to matter. Do not use blackstrap molasses for baking. It won't come out tasting very good.
