3/4 Cup soft shortening
1 Cup brown sugar ( I only use extra dark)
1 egg
1/4 Cup Molasses ( I like Grandma's brand)
Mix these ingredients well
2 1/4 Cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
sift these 6 ingredients together then add to shorting mixture - mixing well.
Chill dough - at least at hour
roll into balls ( size of a walnut)
roll in granulated white sugar
place on greased cookie sheet
bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes - don't over bake or they get hard. To keep them soft place them in an air tight container with a slice of white bread.
