Molasses Crinkles Cookies

"Grandma Sinclairs or Ginger-Snaps" (also for gingerbread men!)
-Brenda Benedict

Ingredients:
3/4 C soft shortening
1 C brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1/4 C molasses
2 tsp soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cloves
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
2 1/4 C flour (approx.)

Directions:
Mix shortening, sugar, egg and molasses thoroughly. Blend all dry ingredients. I just dump it all in together adding the flour last to make it just the right almost not sticky texture for a good cookie. Chill.
