Gingersnap Cookie Recipe

The original recipe (which I've only slightly altered) for these cookies was a wedding gift from a friend of my husband. These cookies are some of his favorites.

If you eat these straight out of the oven, I mean, just cool enough not to burn your mouth but still really warm, you might think you're in heaven. I do!

What You Need:
1/2 cup Shortening
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter (softened)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
3/4 cup molasses
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 - 1/2 cup sugar for coating the cookies

Why yes, this does look an awful lot like my gingerbread recipe. But it's not the same. Less flour and more baking soda. But yes, there will be some deja vu in the instructions for mixing, but there are changes for the baking.
