FAMOUS GINGERSNAPS

Recipe By: Mary Beth Goodman

INGREDIENTS & HOW TO

makes about 4 doz. OK to double recipe, I normally do

Cream together:

3/4 cup shortening

1 cup white sugar

Add to above mixture:

1/3 cup dark molasses

1 egg, beaten

Sift together and add to above, mix well:

2 cup flour

2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp EACH: cinnamon, cloves, ginger**

** - MB's secret: That would be a very generous teaspoon. One time I measured it and it came out to TWO tsp of each. So if you want them to be like mine - don't stint on your spices.

This makes a slightly sticky dough. Roll into 1" balls, and roll in a bowl of white sugar (optional but nice) Place 2" apart on ungreased sheets.

Bake 12-15 minutes at 350F. Watch carefully - they burn suddenly.
