Directions
Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).
Grease cookie sheets. Cream together shortening and sugar.
Add molasses and egg. Add dry ingredients and mix well.
Roll dough into 1inch balls and roll in sugar.
Once they are on the cookie sheet, make an imprint in each with your thumb and add a bit more sugar in the thumbprint.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
- I usually add a bit of mace along with the dry ingedients.
