    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 cloves

    Recipe





    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.
