Here's my recipe for MOLASSES SUGAR COOKIES
3/4 cup shortening 2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 egg 1/4 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups flour
Cream together shortening and sugar. Add molasses and egg. Beat well.
Mix together flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt. Add to first mixture.
Chill overnight.
Form 3/4 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar.
Place on greased cookie sheet 2" apart. Bake at 350 degrees 8-15 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove from pan at once.
