2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
1⅓ cups sugar
¾ cup soft shortening
¼ cup light molasses
1 egg
Method
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease cookie sheets.
2. Sift flour with soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt; set aside.
3. In large bowl of electric mixer, at medium speed, gradually add 1 cup sugar to shortening, creaming until very light and fluffy – about 5 minutes. Blend in molasses and egg.
4. At low speed, beat in flour mixture just until well mixed, scraping down side of bowl with rubber scraper. Refrigerate 1 hour.
5. Pinch off pieces of dough; shape into 1¼ inch balls. Roll into remaining sugar.
