My mom's molasses cookies. These are so, so good. Very soft and chewy. Great with cold milk, coffee, or tea.
Ingredients:
3/4 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. molasses
1 egg
2 c. sifted flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. salt
granulated sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In large bowl, cream together shortening and the 1 c. sugar. Add molasses and egg; beat well.
3. Sift together flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt; add to the first mixture. Mix well; cover and chill one hour.
4. Form into 1 balls; roll each in granulated sugar and space on greased cookie sheets about 2 apart. Bake for 8 - 10 min. or until golden brown. Remove cookies to wire rack; cool.
