Unknown
Mix thoroughly with electric mixer:
¾ cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
¼ cup molasses
Add in and mix well:
2-1/4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
Roll into 1” balls and dip tops in sugar.
Place 2” apart on greased sheets. Sprinkle each with a couple drops of water (optional).
Bake at 375°F. for 10-12 minutes. They will puff up during baking and then flatten while cooling. Remove to cool on racks or paper towels.
Yield: 4-1/2 dozen
Notes: Good recipe. Official “Vacation Cookies”. Be careful not to overbake them or they won’t be nice and chewy-soft or to underbake them (they’ll fall apart). Convection bake at 350°F. for 8 minutes. Large cookie scoop yields 29. Smallest cookie scoop yields 4 dozen (double= 106 cookies)
