Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 cup molasses
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cloves
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 cup sugar extra, for rolling dough
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the shortening, brown sugar, molasses and buttermilk. The mixture will look curdled, but don't worry...it will all come together with the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the creamed sugar mixture and mix well. The dough will be very soft and slightly sticky, but you should be able to roll
- Roll the dough into balls and then roll the balls in sugar.
- Place the cookie dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. Don't over bake the cookies. We remove them before they get browned.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 3-5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool completely. Then store in an airtight container at room temperature.
