Ingredients

• 1 cup of packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup of shortening
• 1/4 cup of molasses
• 1 egg
• 2 1/4 cups of flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon 
• 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 3 tablespoons of sugar

Directions 

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. 
2. In a large bowl, beat brown sugar, shortening, molasses, and then egg. Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the sugar. (I like to beat the brown sugar and shortening until really smooth).
3. Shape the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Dip the tops into the sugar.
4. Place balls on an ungreased cookie sheet, with sugar side up, about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake for 13 to 16 minutes. Immediately remove from the cookie sheet to the cooling rack.
