Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups shortening
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1 tbsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ginger
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 cups flour

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Cream shortening and sugar; add eggs and molasses, mixing well.
  3. Add dry ingredients and continue mixing. Dough should form a ball.
  4. Cover bowl with plastic and pop in the fridge for 20-30 minutes until dough is pliable.
  5. Form dough into 1-inch balls; roll in EXTRA white sugar (you CAN skip this step, but why would you want to?).
  6. Place on UNgreased cookie sheet, about two inches apart. They will spread out, so you don't need to press them down.
  7. Bake 12-13 minutes until top is crackly. Cool on rack, then store in covered container.
  8. During humid weather: store in tightly sealed container or they will get VERY limp and bedraggled.
