Ingredients:

Serving

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups shortening
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
3/4 cup sugar (coarse or granulated )

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl stir together the flour, ginger, soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl beat shortening until softened. Gradually add the 2 cups granulated sugar; beat until fluffy. Add eggs and molasses; beat well. Add half of flour mixture; beat until combined. Stir remaining flour in with a wooden spoon.
Shape dough into balls. Roll in coarse or granulated sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 1/2 inches apart.
Bake in a 350 oven for 12 to 14 minutes or until cookies are light brown and puffed. (Do not over bake - they will not be chewy.) Let stand for 2 minutes before transferring to wire rack. Cool. Enjoy!
** Be sure to use plain, all-purpose flour and the baking soda and salt - they will not turn out right with self-rising flour.**.
