Family Recipe Friday: Aunt Vera's Molasses Cookies

Aunt Vera (Haley) Stuber made these delicious cookies.   They were a favorite with Weldon LeMaster.  He remembers them being as large as saucers.   Note the quantities of ingredients and assume the recipe made a lot depending on size.   I had no directions for the recipe as to how long to bake and what temperature, so I referred to a modern cookbook.  

    1 1/2 pounds lard                                              
    3 pounds brown sugar                                           
    1 pint sorghum molasses                                        
    12 eggs                                                        
    2-4 tablespoons baking soda                                    
    2 tablespoons cinnamon                                         
    5 pounds flour       

                                          

Mix lard and brown sugar.  Add molasses and eggs; mix well.  Add soda cinnamon and flour.  Chill and roll into small balls and bake at 375 for 8-12 minutes.   Cookies freeze well.  This recipe can be cut in half.
