This is Marissa Lynn's recipe, and, according to the hoards of pie-eschewing-pot-luck-goers, they are the best of all time. So to kick off the cookie season, I'm posting this on her behalf!
Ginger Snaps
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup shortening (I use Crisco)
1 egg
4 Tablespoons molasses (1/4 cup)
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. nutmeg
1 t. ground cloves
1 t. ginger
2 t. soda
1/4 t. salt
2 cups flour
Mix together sugar, shortening, egg, and molasses.
Sift remaining ingredients and add to creamed mixture.
Chill the dough a couple of hours if time permits to make it easier to
handle.(opt.)
Shape into balls. Roll in sugar.
Bake about 9-10 minutes at 350 degrees.
