This is one holiday favorite that gets made a year 'round. These cookies are easy and delicious, so enjoy!
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1.Heat oven to 325°F. In large bowl, beat brown sugar, shortening, molasses and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients except granulated sugar
2.Shape dough by rounded tablespoonfuls into 1 1/2-inch balls. Dip tops into granulated sugar. On ungreased cookie sheet, place balls, sugared sides up, about 2 inches apart
3.Bake 13 to 16 minutes or just until set and cookies appear dry. I bake them for 14 minutes and they are perfect. For a softer cookie decrease baking time and for a firmer cookie increase baking time. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Decrease baking soda to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Bake 14 to 16 minutes.
