Looking to ski Okemo Mountain in Ludlow, Vermont? Make the decision easier � better! � by choosing Golden Stage Inn as your place to stay when visiting Vermont in winter. Truly a Foodie�s Favorite!

In addition to our winter afternoon treats of hot apple cider and homemade soup, guests also enjoy our signature Bottomless Cookie Jar. It�s always being filled with freshly baked �from scratch� cookies � maybe flourless peanut butter cookies, or traditional Toll House chocolate chip cookies, or maybe one of our innkeeper�s favorites, Molasses Crinkles.�

We�re always happy to share our recipes with you, and this time it�s the Molasses Crinkles that have earned the spotlight.��

�

In a large mixing bowl, mix together:

3/4 c. shortening

1 c. packed brown sugar

1 egg

1/4 c. molasses

In a separate bowl, whisk together the following ingredients, then mix into wet ingredients:

2 1/4 flour

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp ginger

1/2 tsp cloves

1/4 tsp salt

When thoroughly mixed, place dough in refrigerator for a couple of hours or overnight.�

Preheat oven to 375. Make small dough balls about the size of a large walnut, and roll in your hands so they are round. Dip top in sugar and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet, a few inches apart.�

Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes, until the cookie looks set, but not firm throughout.�

These cookies are easy and delicious, but don�t forget � cookies are always easier and more delicious when you let us bake them for you!�

Next time you come to Vermont, stay with us at Golden Stage Inn. We�re just minutes from great skiing, gorgeous hiking, and complete relaxation. We look forward to hosting you!
