Molasses Cookies
Ingredients:
¾ cup Shortening (melted)
1 cups White Sugar
1 Egg
¼ cup Molasses
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Ground Cloves
½ teaspoon Ground Ginger

Mix sugar, melted shortening, and egg together in a medium bowl until smooth; stir in molasses. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and ginger and stir until well combined.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

While the oven is preheating, roll dough into 1-inch diameter balls; roll each ball in remaining white sugar before placing 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake in batches in the preheated oven until tops are cracked, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
