4-1/2 DOZEN YIELD
3/4 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup molasses 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon ground ginger Sugar
Cream shortening; gradually add 1 cup sugar, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and molasses; mix well.
Combine flour, soda, salt, and spices; mix well. Add about one-fourth of dry mixture at a time to creamed mixture, mixing until smooth after each addition. Chill dough at least 1 hour.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls, and roll in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. (Tops will crack.) Cool on wire racks.
