Gingersnap Cookies

Gingersnap, Sugar & Sally Ann are my FAVORITE cookies!  I don't mind baking them, but they never last as long as I would like!!




3/4 C Shortening (I prefer the butter flavored Crisco)
1 C sugar
4 T Molasses
1 Egg
Dash of Salt
1 3/4 C Flour
2 t Baking Soda
1 t Cinnamon
1 t Cloves
1 t Ginger

Preheat oven to 375.  Cream together shortening & sugar.  Add molasses, egg & salt.  Mix again.  Start adding the dry ingredients - flour, soda, cinnamon, cloves and ginger, all while mixing.  Using a teaspoon size amount, roll dough into a ball, then roll in sugar.  Place on cookie sheet and bake for 7 minutes or until brown and tops are cracked.  Makes 4 dozen.


*Note - these were baked on a Polish Pottery Cutting board!
