Preparation

Step 1

Cream together shortening and brown sugar.

Stir in egg and molasses and mix well.

Fold in dry ingredients and stir.

Cover and chill for until firm 1-2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350.

Roll dough into small balls and roll balls in white sugar.

Place coated balls on lightly greased (I use cooking spray) cookie sheet.

Bake for 9-10 minutes.

Allow cookies to set on cookie sheet until set, then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
