3/4 c. shortening
1 c. sugar (white)
1/4 c. molasses
1 egg
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. flour (I use 1/2 whole wheat flour)
1/2 tsp. cloves, ginger, salt
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix shortening, eggs, sugar, molasses together well. Blend in all dry ingredients. Roll into balls and dip in cinnamon-sugar. Bake on greased sheet for 10 to 12 minutes, longer for crispy cookies.
