3/4 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar*
1/4 cup molasses*
1 egg
2 1/4 cup flour
2 t. baking soda
1 t. ginger
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. ground cloves
1/2 t. salt
Combine. Roll into 1 inch balls. Roll in sugar. Place on baking sheets.
Bake at 375° 8-10 min, or 11 min on insulated baking sheets.
Notes from Sue: "The cookies will puff up and then fall when they come out of the oven. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes then transfer to racks to cool. I use a number 60 food dipper to form these, I think the recipe makes about 30 cookies."
* 1 cup white sugar and 1/2 cup molasses may be substituted for the brown sugar and 1/4 molasses.
