This has become my favorite cookie recipe. It's very popular at work!
3/4 c. butter flavored Crisco1 c. sugar
1 egg
1/4 c. molasses
2 c. flour
1/4 t. salt
2 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
3/4 t. ground cloves
3/4 t. ginger
either granulated or decorator's sugar
Combine shortening, sugar, egg, & molasses. Mix thoroughly. Measure four and sift in dry ingredients. Stir into shortening mix. Use medium scoop to form cookies.
Place on cookie sheet. These will spread, so allow room between them. Bake 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 2-3 dozen cookies, depending on size.
Here's where your personal preference comes in. If you like a sweeter cookie, dip the top and sides of the cookie in decorator's sugar before baking. The sugar looks very pretty, but it does bake more sugar into the cookie and diminish the spiciness of it a bit. If you want a spicier cookie, wait until they come out of the oven and sprinkle granulated sugar on the top while still hot.
