List of Ingredients




1 cup shortening
1-1/2 cups molasses
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground cloves


Recipe



Melt shortening. Pour into a large bowl. Add molasses and sugar; blend well. The mixture may not blend at first but will after a little beating. Allow to cool.

Beat in egg. Sift dry ingredients. Add to wet mixture. It will be a stiff dough. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. Bae at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or ntil they barely begin to brown. Take from oven and run a spatula under the cookies so they will be easy to remove from baking sheet. Cool for a few minutes before removing to cooling rakes.
