I'm very late responding to this request (just found this site -- looks great! The following recipe was originally from a Canadian Living magazine several years ago. Like many others, I find their recipes always turn out just the way they show it. SOFT MOLASSES COOKIES...... Cream together: 1/2 c. shortening 1/2 c. white sugar 1 egg Add (then mix): 1 c. molasses Blend together: 3 1/2 c. all purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. ginger 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. cloves Add 1/2 of dry ingredients to molasses mixture. THEN ADD 1/2 c. hot water. Add remainder of dry ingredients. Roll on floured board to 1/4" thickness. Cut into desired shapes. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
