Gingersnaps

This cookie recipe was handed down to me by my friend, Deb.  It is sooo good!  If you're about to sell your house, stick these in the oven prior to a showing -- one sure way to get that house sold!  Lol

Ingredients:
3/4 cup Crisco shortening
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour

Directions:
Combine first 8 ingredients (excluding flour) in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy.  Add the flour in two parts, mixing after each addition.  Chill for 1 hour (or as long as you like).  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Roll small ping-pong size balls of dough in your hands and dip tops in white sugar.  Place balls on ungreased cookie sheet, sugar side up about 2" apart.

Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden.


This recipe is much like the soft ginger cookie recipe you found, Brit.
