Recipes from my grandmother's and mother's recipe file boxes, written in their hands, are a family treasure that I am sharing with all who are interested in baking goodies:
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses (Brer Rabbit brand recommended)
1 egg
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Melt shortening in a 3 or 4 quart saucepan over low heat.
Add sugar, molasses and egg- beat well.
Sift together flour, soda, spices and salt and add to first mixture.
Mix well and chill.
Form into 1-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar and place on greased cookie sheet 2-inches apart.
Bake in moderate hot oven (375 degrees) 8 - 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
