Ginger Snap Cookies |
This is a great recipe to get smaller children to help with. My son loves to roll the balls of dough in the sugar.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup shortening or margarine, softened
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 egg
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp cloves
Directions
In large bowl combine first 4 ingredients, blend well. Stir in remaining ingredients, blend well. Chill dough for easier handling. Lightly grease (not oil) cookie sheets. Heat oven to 375. Shape dough into 1 inch balls, roll balls in sugar. Place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake at 375 for 8 - 10 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 1 - 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheet.
