Stephanies world famous, in Bearverton soon to be in Salt lake, Molasses Crinkles with a twist

When I lived in PDX, Stephanie's Molasses Crinkles were always in high demand. I decided to make them for Christmas this year, but thought they might taste well with a slight twist... Cream Cheese Filling.

¾ c. butter or shortening 1 c. packed brown sugar
1 egg ¼ c. molasses

Mix well, then add dry ingredients & mix thoroughly.

2 ¼ c. flour 1 tsp. ginger
2 tsp. baking soda ½ tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon ¼ tsp. salt

Roll into balls. Dip tops in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350° for approximately 8-10 minutes. Store in airtight container to keep fresh.

And now for the guest star..

1 pkg of Cream Cheese
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

mix together well, and voi la...

then you make a yummie sandwich and all your dreams come true.
