Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
2 tsp baking soda |
1/4 tsp salt |
3/4 cup vegetable shortening |
1 cup sugar |
1 large egg |
1/4 cup molasses; either regular or unsulphured |
1 tsp ginger, powdered |
1 tsp cinnamon, powdered |
1/2 tsp cloves, powdered |
1/3 cup granulated white sugar (to roll dough in) |
Directions:
1. Sift flour, baking soda and salt together, set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat shortening and sugar until well blended. Beat in eggs, molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Add the flour mixture in two parts, blending well. Shape the dough into a ball, cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 1 1/2 inch balls for large cookies. Roll the balls thoroughly in sugar, place on ungreased cookie trays. The cookies spread out during baking, so don't crowd them. Bake
2. 15 minutes. Cool for a minute, and then remove from cookie sheets. Stir in an airtight container for crispy cookies, or in a regular cookie jar for chewy cookies.
