INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup light molasses
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cream together shortening and brown sugar. Stir in egg and molasses and mix well. Fold in dry ingredients and stir. Cover and chill until firm (1 - 2 hours).
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  3. Roll dough into small balls (I use a small melon baller to help with this) and roll in white sugar. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets.
  4. Bake 9 - 10 minutes. Leave on cookie sheet one minute until set.
