3/4 c shortening
1 c sugar
1 egg
1/4 c molasses
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp ground ginger
2 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
extra sugar for rolling cookies in
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine shortening, sugar, egg, and molasses. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Shape into 1" balls and roll in sugar. Place 2" apart on baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes until cookies are crinkly and very slightly browned (bake a little longer if you want a crisper cookie). When removing baking sheet from oven, tap the edge gently on the counter and cookies will flatten. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes then remove to cooling rack. Makes about 3 - 4 dozen.
