List of Ingredients




1 cup sugar
1 cup shortening (I like to use Crisco, originally it called for LARD!)
1 cup molasses
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger


Recipe



Cream the sugar and the shortening, add the molasses and cream that in, then incorporate the eggs and beat until well blended.

Sift together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon & ginger. Add to the sugar mixture, and mix well.

Drop by small spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet. Grease the bottom of a small glass, and dip it in sugar. Flatten the cookies with the glass (reapplying shortening and sugar to the glass, as needed).

Bake at 350° or 9-12 minutes or until cookie is browned.
