I'm an Okie!

Ok, so I was born and bread in Oklahoma. When I was transplanted to Florida as a child, I missed a lot about Oklahoma. Mostly the food. Let's face it, Florida is hardly the south. Maybe a few households, but most of Florida is a mix of everything. The most southern thing about Florida is it's geography. Anyhow, what is more southern than your Grandma's cooking. In my case, my Nanny. That is what I call my Grandma. Her cooking was always the best. I guess that is where I got my love of cooking. When she passed away in 2005, the only thing I wanted of hers was her recipes. Nothing makes me feel more connected to her than making one of her dishes. So, I thought what better way to honor her than to share her recipes with others. If you love southern cooking, keep me in mind. And if you have any requests, I will do my best to find them for you.

HAPPY EATING!

Ginger Snaps

My Nanny made these for me all the time. They were originally made my my Grandma, Nanny's mom. And they have been passed down. Nanny would send these to me at college, so I wouldn't be so homesick. They are one of my favorites! I make sure I bake them, and all cookies, on aluminum baking sheets.

Ginger Snaps
3/4 C. Veg Oil
1 C. Sugar, plus extra for coating
1/4 C. Grandmas Molasses
1 Egg
2 C. Flour
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1 tsp. Ground Cloves
1 tsp. Ground Ginger
Cream the first 4 ingredients together. Mix the rest of the ingredients in. Take about a tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Roll ball in sugar to coat. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
Best dipped in milk! Yumm-O!
