Preparation
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl stir together the flour, ginger, soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a marge mixing bowl, beat shortening until softened. Gradually add the 2 cups of granulated sugar: beat until fluffy. Add eggs and molasses; beat well. Add half of flour mixture; beat until combined. Stir in remaining flour with a wooden spoon.
Using 1/4-cup ice cream scoop, shape dough into 2-inch balls. Roll in the coarse or granulated sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheet about 2 1/2 inches apart. I flatten them before baking with a spatula.
Bake at 350 for 12 to 14 minutes until cookies are light brown and puffed. Cool.
