These are rich, sweet, chewy cookies. Ingredients:
3/4 cup all vegetable solid shortening |
1 1/2 cups white sugar, divided |
1/4 cup molasses |
1 egg |
2 cups white flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven 350°F.
2. Mix on low speed electric mixer shortening, molasses, 1 cup sugar and egg. Cream mixture.
3. Slowly add the remaining ingredients except 1/2 cup of white sugar. Mix on medium (you may need to use your hands to finish).
4. Get 1/2 cup white sugar and pour into plate. By teaspoonful roll dough into ball then into sugar. Place each cookie on greased baking sheet. Bake 5-10 minutes. You are looking for cookie to puff up and start to crack slightly.
5. Take out as soon as cookies appear to have cracks allover. This will ensure you have a chewy cookie.
