3/4 c. shortening
1 c. sugar (white or brown; I use brown)
2 eggs
1/4 c. sorghum
3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. ginger
2 tsp. cinnamon

Mix shortening and sugar; add eggs and sorghum. Sift together flour, soda and spices and add to mixture. Chill dough a few hours or overnight. Roll into balls the size of walnuts. Dip in sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten balls.

Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
