Jessica's Molasses Crinkle Cookies

 
Molasses Crinkle Cookies
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp salt
----------
Mix first 4 ingredients thoroughly in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Sift remaining ingredients into a separate bowl and slowly combine with shortening mixture. Do not over mix. Heat oven to 375°. Roll teaspoonfuls of chilled dough into balls about the size of a walnut. Dip tops in sugar. Place cookies, sugared side up, 3 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes or just until set, but not hard. Cool on wire rack. Makes approximately 3-4 dozen depending on size of cookies.
