Here is yet another favorite traditional cookie, but even better - another recipe that consistently turns out well at 5000 feet altitude! These cookies have a crunchy outside with a nice chewy center. They're sure to be a hit!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 large egg
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- additional sugar
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a non-insulated cookie sheet.
In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, shortening, molasses, and egg with an electric mixer (or mix by hand). Stir in the remaining ingredients except the sugar.
Shape the dough into small rounded balls. Roll each ball in sugar, then place on the cookie sheet.
Bake 8-10 minutes, or just until set. Immediately transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
