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.

This is very similar to Sister Monson's Ginger Cookie Recipe. She bakes them at 350 degrees (which I like) and only uses 1 t. soda. She adds 2 t. ginger instead of 1 and cuts the cloves to 1/2 t. Very fun!
