Reva's Molasses Sugar Cookies
- 1 1/2 cups sugar granulated, divided
- 3/4 cup vegetable shortening solid, melt
- 2 cups flour, all-purpose
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 each eggs slightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger ground
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the sugar with the melted shortening, flour, molasses, egg, baking soda, cloves, ginger, cinnamon and salt.
- Mix until well combined.
- Although you can form cookies at this point, the dough will be easier to handle if you cover and chill it for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C) F; lightly grease a cookie sheet.
- Using your hands, form balls of dough about the size of a walnut.
- Place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a large shallow dish.
- Roll the balls in the sugar to coat completely.
- Place on the prepared cookie sheet, about 2 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies spread and are lightly browned on the bottom.
- Cool cookies on a wire rack.
- Store in an airtight container.
