Ginger Cookies Grandma LL

These are Grandma's favorite Christmas cookies.  With a glass of cold milk or some vanilla or pumpkin ice cream--these are DELICIOUS.  Love that ginger flavor.   These are also Debbie and Tim's favorite from when they were little.

3/4 c. shortening (or 1/2 c. shortening and 1/4 c. butter)
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. light molasses
1 egg
2 c. flour
1/4 t. salt
2 t. soda
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. cloves
1 t. ginger

Cream shortening, sugar and molasses together, add egg and beat well.  Dissolve soda in a little water.  Add dry ingredients and soda and mix well.   Roll into small balls, roll in sugar, and place on greased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.  Makes 4 dozen cookies.
