molasses cookies

These are a Christmas tradition in my husband's family.

2 c. all-purpose flour
1 T. ground ginger
2 t. baking soda
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. salt
3/4 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1/4 c. molasses

Cream shortening, sugar and molasses.  Beat in egg.  Sift all other ingredient (except sugar) and then add to the creamed mixture.  Roll into teaspoon sized balls and roll in sugar then bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
