Ingredients

  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup Vegetable shortening

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and vegetable shortening until smooth and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the molasses and egg to the mixing bowl and beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt.

Step 5

Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.

Step 6

Take small portions of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls.

Step 7

Place the balls onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each ball to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly crisp and the center is set.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their crispy texture.
