3/4 cup shortening
4 tablespoons molasses
1 egg
1 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon salt (we found this to be too much salt, I'd cut it in half at least)
Extra sugar for rolling
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry.
Using two spoons or a small ice cream scoop, roll batter into balls and then roll them in the extra sugar.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until done.
These have really lovely flavor, and even though we found then too salty to just eat they go really nicely with a bowl of ice cream.
