Add baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves to flour and mix together.
Gradually add flour mixture to shortening mixture.
Cover and chill for 1 hour.
Roll into 1 inch bals and roll in granulated sugar.
Place on cookie sheet (I like to flatten them slightly with bottom of a glass).
Bake at 325 for 8 minutes **very important not to over bake or else they won't be soft!**.
