Fain 39 s sorghum molasses cookies

I don’t generally go out of my way looking for unusual ingredients. But when I come across something that I don’t often see, I like to grab some just to see what it might be good in.

Like the sorghum I picked up last time I was at the Bergman Orchards market near Sandusky.

I bought several jars, and the one I used here was lost in the back of the cupboard for over two years.

Ingredients

2 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¾ teaspoon ground cardamom
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/3 cup granulated white sugar
1 large egg
1 stick (¼ pound) butter – softened
1/3 cup sorghum or molasses
½ cup brown sugar

Directions

Combine the flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cardamom and mix on low speed until well combined.

(I’m not kidding about the low speed. You’ll make a mess otherwise.)

Add the baking soda, sugar, egg, butter and sorghum.
