Ingredients
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ginger
Instructions
- Mix shortening, brown sugar, eggs, and molasses.
- In a separate bowl, sift together
- Mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Chill dough for 1 hour.
- Roll into balls the size of large walnuts.
- Dip top of dough ball in sugar.
- Place 3" apart on greased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Notes
- Sprinkle water on top of the cookies. It will dissolve some of the sugar on top and give the cookies a nice, crinkly texture on top.
- The spices blend so well in the molasses, and the flavors mix together after sitting for a while. I like to store them for about a day before serving, because they just taste better the second day!
- Don't overbake these cookies! To achieve the chewy texture, pull the cookies out of the oven when they are just starting to turn a light brown on top and you can see them getting crusty on the top layer of the cookie.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
