Soft Gingersnap Cookies

I have never loved gingersnap cookies until I tried these.  They are soft and have a great flavor!  They go perfect with a nice cold glass of milk!

Ingredients:

3/4 cup vegetable shortening

3/4 cup butter shortening

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup Grandma's Molasses

2 eggs

3 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp clove

 2 tsp ginger

1 1/2 tsp soda

1 tsp salt

4 cups flour

Cream together the shortening and sugar.

Then add the eggs, one at a time.  Followed by the molasses.

Then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.  

Roll into golf size balls and roll in sugar.  Place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8-9 minutes.  Over baking will make the cookies hard, so watch them carefully.
