1/8C Molasses
1 eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp baking soda
2C Flour

Beat together the butter and sugar until well incorporated, set aside.

Stir together the molasses and eggs, set aside.

Combine dry ingredients, set aside.

Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with the molasses mixture, mixing well.

Take a TBSP  of dough and roll into a ball, dip in white sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake at 350ยบ for 10-12 minutes ( I found 8 min to be the best for my oven/altitude so they were soft still)

Gyros

Flat bread (you can buy it or make your own. I think navajo taco bread would work well, or scones, or naan)
Roast--pork, beef or lamb
Feta cheese
Tomatoes
Onions (optional)

Roast some sort of meat in the slow cooker. I did pork, but it was rather fatty so I think I'll do beef next time.


Sauce
1 c. yogurt
1/4 C mayo
1/4 C sour cream
1 lemon, juiced
salt & pepper
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 packet italian seasoning mix
1/2 cucumber--grated. Squeeze excess water out.

Mix with a wisk and refrigerate until ready.


Place meat, sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onion and Feta cheese in flatbead and enjoy!
