When the weather starts to cool down a bit, I am eager to get into the kitchen and do some baking. This recipe is always my "go-to" cookie recipe for enjoying that fall flavor. Now, I must tell you that these are not healthy in any way. But, they are soooooo good. Just the right amount of chewy goodness.
Here's the recipe:
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground ginger
Cream shortening and sugar. Add molasses and egg. Beat well and add dry ingredients.
Roll into balls or use a small cookie scoop. Dip into extra sugar.

Bake in a 375 degree, pre-heated oven for 7-8 minutes. You can make really large cookies too, just bake them for 12-15 minutes.
Enjoy a taste of Autumn.
We've just had our first cool snap this morning. I was going to make cookies last weekend but the weather was just too warm to turn on the oven. These ginger cookies seem like just the thing. I'll be making them soon. Thanks for the recipe.
