Gingersnap Cookies

Gingersnaps are so easy to make and so delicious. The longer you bake them the crunchier they get. I like mine crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They are so good, they're sure to be a hit!

Ingredients:

• 1 Egg
• 1/4 C. Molasses
• 3/4 C. Shortening
• 2 tsp. Soda
• 2 C. Flour
• 1/4 tsp. Salt
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1 tsp. Ginger
• 1 tsp. Cloves

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream egg, sugar, molasses, and shortening together in a medium bowl.
2. Add soda, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Stir until well mixed. Batter will be sticky.
3. Form into balls about the size of a quarter, and roll into sugar.
4. Bake for 8 mins, longer if you want them crunchier. Let cool for 1 minute, then move to cooling rack.
