Molasses Cookies

This is a very tasty, not too sweet cookie.

3/4 cup crisco
1 cup brown sugar
1 Egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 1/4 cup flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
small bowl of sugar for dipping

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream crisco & brown sugar. Add egg and molasses to creamed ingredients. In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. Add your dry mixture to your creamed mixture. Chill 2 hours.
Roll about 48 balls from the dough (about an inch wide) and tip top of ball in sugar. Grease a baking sheet (or line with parchment paper), place your cookies on sheet and drop a few drops of water on each ball.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
