Recipe Introduction
The recipe says it makes 25, but they must be really really big, because I always get over 3 dozen big cookies
from the recipe
List of Ingredients

- 1/2 cup molasses
- 3/4 cup coarse or granulated sugar
Instructions
- In medium bowl, stir together dry ingredients, set aside
- In large mixing bowl, beat shortening until softened.
- Gradually add 2 cups sugar, beat until fluffy.
- Add eggs and molasses, beat well
- Beat in 1/2 of the flour mixture, then stir rest in by hand
- Shape dough in 2 inch balls, roll in sugar. Place 2 1/2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet

Final Comments
If in a hurry, just mix all wet ingredients, then add all dry ingredients and beat with spoon until blended. They are still delicious, just not as softly rounded as when they are well beaten.
