Add liquid ingredients alternately with flour mixture to creamed mixture. Stir well between additions. ( if your mixer has a dough hook, this works well) Dough is, and should be sticky.

• Some tips on making and cooking these: Dough is very sticky, and soft, never worked with this type of dough before, and I have made alot of cookies that you roll out. Need a well floured counter or sheet your using, and roll them 1/2 for softer cookies~ 1/4 for a little crispy. Watch the cooking time as they need to be a little firm but not to firm. If your going to use cut-out shapes, make sure you keep them well floured. When transferring them to the cookie sheet, use a wide spatula, don't try to pick up with your hands. They are worth the work and wait (overnight in refrigerator) yummy old fashioned molasses cookies
