Someone brought this cookie to an outing and they were so good I had to get the recipe. Now I'm passing it on. To make these really festive at Christmas, you could dip about one-quarter of it in a melted chocolate (white or dark) and then in sprinkles. They would jazz up a cookie tray and look very pretty.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup molasses
1 egg (beaten)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon clove
Directions:
1. Cream the shortening and sugar.
2. Add the molasses, egg, and salt and mix well.
3. Add the flour, soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; mix well.
4. This makes a stiff dough.
5. Roll into balls and roll in granulated sugar.
6. Bake on ungreased sheet at 350 degrees for 12 minutes (do not flatten balls on sheet).
