Feeling So Good I'm Baking

Ok, before I start, I should let everyone know that I have 'walking pneumonia', which is not contagious. Thank the Lord for that cause the last thing I need is Lil GeeChee Girl and GeeChee Guy getting sick. I feel much better - not 100% yet but getting there. Antibiotics and steroids are wonderful!

Unfortunately, I am not sleeping well. Every time I try to go to sleep, I start trying to cough up a lung. So, I've decided to bake cookies. LOTS of cookies. Without further delay, here is the recipe for Ginger Snaps - a family favorite.

1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour *
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
Granulated sugar

Mix brown sugar, shortening, molasses, and egg. Stir in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt. Cover and refridgerate for at least and hour.

Heat oven to 375. Shape dough by rounded teaspoons into balls. Dip in to granulated sugar. Place balls, sugar side up, on greased cookie sheet, about 3 inches apart. Bake until set, about 10 - 12 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. About 4 dozen cookies.

* If using self rising flour, decrease baking soda to 1 tsp and omit salt.

Enjoy.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I'm
assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was
wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have
to manually code with HTML. I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
