Recipe - Ginger Krakles

1 One half cup Shortening
2 cup Brown sugar
One half cup Molasses
2 Eggs
5 cup Flour
4 teaspoon Baking soda
2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ginger; see note
1 teaspoon Cloves
Sugar

Cream shortening with brown sugar, molasses, and eggs until well mixed.
Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; add to creamed
mixture and mix well. Chill until dough can be handled easily, about 2
hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Form dough into 1 inch balls; roll each
ball in sugar to coat well. Place balls 3 inches apart on cookie sheets.
Bake 810 minutes until set but not browned.

NOTES : I use 2 teaspoons of ginger to get a more spicy cookie.
