1 c. sugar
1 c. flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/4 c. molasses
Sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ginger
3/4 c. Crisco shortening
1 egg, slightly beaten

Combine 1 cup sugar, flour, salt, soda and spices; stir lightly. Cut in shortening to resemble coarse crumbs. Stir in molasses and egg. Shape dough into 1 inch balls, and roll them in sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake 350 degrees 10 minutes. Remove from baking sheets immediately. Cookies will firm quickly as they cool. Yield: about 4 1/2 dozen.
