List of Ingredients
Annette's Mini Ginger Cookies
* 2 ¼ cup shortening
* 3 cups sugar
* ¾ cup molasses (I use full flavor)
* 3 eggs
* 6 cups flour
* 1 ½ tsp salt
* 2 T soda
* 2 tsp ginger
* 3 tsp cinnamon
* 2 tsp clovesRecipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt shortening in a 3 - 4 quart saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and let cool.
Add sugar, molasses, and egg. Beat well.
Sift together flour, soda, and spices. Add to first mixture. Mix well; chill.
Form into 1/2" balls and place on a greased cookie sheet 1" apart. If you would like a little sparkle to your cookie, roll in sugar OR top each cookie with a bit of raw sugar before baking.
Flatten with the bottom of a glass and bake for 8 - 10 minutes (surface should just begin to show cracks). DO not over bake. These are not crispy cookies. They should be soft and chewy.
*Ginger cookies freeze well and are also excellent if you want to bake them to full cookie size.
