With the holidays coming and this community being a community of sharing I wanted to share with you one of my favorite recipes. This has brought a lot of joy to my family as we put together ingredients and come together. With all the individual ingredients being unique and separate and when combined create this wonderful thing. This is how I feel about family and how I feel about this community. Just a lot of unique ingredients that create a wonderful result 🥰

Please share your favorite holiday recipe or some tradition you enjoy.

🍪 Molasses Sugar Cookies

Ingredients
3/4 cup Crisco (shortening)
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon (or nutmeg if substituting)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cloves

Directions
Melt the shortening in a small saucepan over low heat.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Add sugar, molasses, and egg. Beat well using an electric mixer.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and combine with a wooden spoon.
Chill dough in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 teaspoon).
Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
Place on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet, 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball using the bottom of a glass.
Bake at 375°F for 8–10 minutes.

8 minutes was perfect for my oven.

Transfer parchment to cooling racks to prevent overbaking.

2 - 2.5 lbs of ***led potatoes cut into wedges, unless the potatoes are already on the smaller size

-put these potatoes in a baking tray and add in a mixture of

2 juiced lemons
Half a cup of olive oil
1.5 cups of chicken bone broth or stock
1 tbsp of oregano
2 teaspoons of salt (truffle salt for added depth)
