  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and reserve. 
  2. Cream shortening with sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer at low speed until homogeneous. Sift flour into the bowl and add baking soda, salt, and spices. Mix in until combined. Whisk in molasses and the egg until combined.
  3. Transfer the dough to a surface lined with plastic wrap and form a log. Wrap and place to rest in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight. Using a tablespoon as measurement, roll dough into balls and then in sugar.  Place onto the lined sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart between them.
