Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup light molasses
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration
  • 3/4 cup shortening

Instructions

  1. Cream together shortening and sugar. Mix in molasses and egg. Stir in sifted flour, salt, soda, cinnamon, clove, and ginger. Dough will be soft and a little sticky.
  2. Mold into walnut-sized balls, and roll in sugar. Place on greased cookie sheets.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 7 to 8 minutes. Baking them longer will make them less soft, but still chewy.
