 MOLASSES CRACKLES
 
 The following recipe is one I modified from an old favorite.  It has 
 turned out quite well.  The "balls" tend to be more sticky than when 
 made with shortening.  Refrigerating the dough for awhile may help.  
 Also, the amount of prune puree I used was at an altitude of 7200 ft.  
 You may need to decrease the liquid slightly.  I usually double the 
 recipe.
 
 
 1/2 c. prune puree
 1 c. sugar (I decrease to 3/4 c.)
 1/4 c. molasses
 Egg substitute to equal one egg (I use egg replacer)
 2 tsp. baking soda
 2. c. flour
 1/2 tsp. cloves
 1/2 tsp. ginger
 1 tsp. cinnamon
 1/2 tsp. salt
 
 Mix.  Form into small balls.  Roll in granulated sugar.  Bake on 
 lightly Pam'd cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10-15 min. (until just 
 crisp on the outside).  The amount of baking time increases with 
 altitude.  
 
 Note:  Do not let these get too crisp.  They harden as they cool.  I 
 like them slightly crisp on the outside but soft and chewy.
