1 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
1 c. molasses
1 egg
1 tbsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. ginger
Stiffen with flour so you can handle with fingers

I mix all at once and add flour, one cup at a time, until I can handle with fingers. Drop a teaspoon at a time on ungreased cookie sheet and bake and enjoy. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Makes 3 dozen.
