A variation on an old Betty Crocker favorite.These are a holiday staple in our family and you WILL NOT EAT JUST ONE! One of my most guarded recipes, now shared with the zaar community. I hope you enjoy. (recipe easily doubles) Ingredients:

1/4 cup brown sugar |
8 ounces fat free sour cream |
1/2 cup light margarine or 1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 cup dark molasses |
1 large egg |
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 teaspoons ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 375°F.
2. Mix sugars, sour cream, molasses, egg, margarine, and shortening in a large bowl until smooth.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients. Do not over mix!
4. Drop by rounded tablespoonful onto an ungreased cookis sheet. Place about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake time is roughly 10-12 minutes or until the cookies have browned. May be hard to gage by color so bake until almost no indentation remains in center of cookie when touched.
