Now, these cookies look like a gingersnap, taste like a gingersnap, but they do not snap like a gingersnap! So, here's to all you chewy cookie lovers, enjoy the cookie of the season!
CHEWY MOLASSES COOKIES
3/4 C shortening
1 C sugar
1/4 C molasses
1 egg
2 C flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp salt
Blend the shortening and sugar. Then add molasses and egg, and beat well. Add in the flour and remaining ingredients, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Roll chilled dough into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar, and place 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet immediately and cool on a cooling rack.

The perfect fall cookie! Mmmmmmm
Marie - I am so excited to have stumbled upon your crafty blog! And these cookies sound absolutely delicious! I'm definitely doing to try them out!
Oh - and your Halloween costumes sound fantastic - VERY creative! Are you making them? If so, you'd better post pics!
I didn't know you had this blog! Those cookies look delicious and you did great photography too!
I tried making these - but forgot to add baking powder and salt. Ooops! Not sure if that's why they didn't spread out, but they didn't really expand at ALL like the ones in the picture. Still tasty, however, at least enough to eat instead of dinner!
