And now, a cookie post

There was a request yesterday in the comments of my cookie post for the recipe of said cookies.  Here it is in all its glory, for those who like cookies:

Ginger Crinkles

2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp salt
1 c packed brown sugar
3/4 butter or shortening
1/4 molasses
1 egg

Stir together the first 6 ingredients in a separate bowl.  In another, larger, bowl, cream together shortening and brown sugar.  Add the egg and molasses, beating well.  Combine the dry ingredients with the shortening mixture.  Form 1-inch balls.  Roll in granulated sugar.  Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.  Makes 48 cookies

I actually make my cookies bigger by making the balls a little bigger than one inch. I end up with just slightly more than 3 dozen cookies.  

Happy cookie baking!
