Soft Ginger Snaps

This delicious recipe is from Clint's aunt Michelle.

1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Cream sugar and shortening, add egg and molasses. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Chill. Roll into walnut size balls and roll in sugar. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet at 350 for 11 minutes. Makes about 2 dozen.

Notes:
I don't usually take the time to chill the dough and mine turn out fine.
I roll cookies in powdered sugar, but granulated would work too.
