Recipe - Chewy Ginger Christmas Cookies

2 cup Sugar
1 cup Molasses
1 cup Crisco
2 Eggs
2 teaspoon Soda
4 cup Flour
2 teaspoon Ginger
2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Cloves
One half teaspoon Salt

Mix well by hand and add: Mix all together (by hand not mixer). Roll into
balls the size of a small walnut, then roll into red and green colored
sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for about 9 minutes. The cookies will look not
quite done, but not baking them until hard makes them chewy. The cookies
will sink down and have cracks in them.
