Ingredients
-
3/4 cup all vegetable solid shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar, divided
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups white flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preparation
-
Preheat oven 350\u00b0F.
Mix on low speed electric mixer shortening, molasses, 1 cup sugar and egg. Cream mixture.
Slowly add the remaining ingredients except 1/2 cup of white sugar. Mix on medium (you may need to use your hands to finish).
Get 1/2 cup white sugar and pour into plate. By teaspoonful roll dough into ball then into sugar. Place each cookie on greased baking sheet. Bake 5-10 minutes. You are looking for cookie to puff up and start to crack slightly.
Take out as soon as cookies appear to have cracks allover. This will ensure you have a chewy cookie.
