By Jane Davenport

These were a hit at a Christmas cookie party we had Dec 2010. Everyone talked about them all year long!!

1 cup shortening
1 3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup molasses
2 tsp soda
1 tsp. Clove/allspice
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp ginger

3 1/2 cups flour

Cream sugar and shortening until fluffy. Add eggs and molasses and mix. Add dry ingredients. Form in to balls about the size of a walnut, dip one side in sugar. Place on a cookie sheet sugar side up. Bake 7-9 min at 350 degrees or until light brown.
Makes 4-5 dozen.
