These irresistible cookies were perfected in my Grandma Jean’s kitchen. They are a favorite among my entire family and it’s nearly impossible to eat just one. These are the perfect cookies to bring to a party because the dough can be chilled overnight and baked just before you are ready to leave.
1. Melt shortening and let cool. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and ginger.
2. In a large bowl, combine egg, sugar, molasses, and melted shortening and beat with an electric mixer until well combined. Add the flour mixture to the bowl and beat until it is well incorporated. Wrap the dough in wax paper and chill for at least 1 hour.
3. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375ºF. Shape tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into balls and roll them in the extra sugar to coat. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for about 10 minutes.
