One more favorite cookie from my husband's childhood. These are some of my very favorites because I really like molasses. I'm not sure of the amount this makes.
3/4 cup shortening; melt over low heat and cool slightly
Add and beat well:
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Chill the dough. Form into 1" balls. Roll balls in sugar and place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.

These look great. Some molasses cookies aren't spicy enough but this recipe seems to have a good balance.
My Mom used to make molasses cookies and I loved them! I'm going to have to make me a batch! :)
My mom used to make some like this too. They were fun for us kids to roll into balls and into the sugar. Great warm right out of the oven....
