Directions

In a mixing bowl, beat the shortening with an electric mixer for 30 seconds.

Add the brown sugar, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, salt and cloves; beat until combined.

Beat in the molasses and egg.

Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer.

Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon.

Cover and chill the dough for 2 hours, or until it is easy to handle.

Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).

Shape the dough into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar; place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, or until the balls set and the tops are cracked.

Do not bake on the lower oven rack and don't overbake.

Cool the cookies on waxed paper or a wire rack.

The cookies will be softer if cooled on waxed paper.
