Ingredients

4.5 cups flour

3 tsp ground ginger

2 tsp baking soda

1.5 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground cloves

1/4 tsp salt

1.5 cups shortening

3/4 cup sugar

Directions

In a medium bowl stir together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and salt; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl beat shortening and zest with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Add the 2 cups sugar. Beat until combined, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Beat in eggs and molasses until combined. Beat in as much of ht eflour mixture as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour mixture.

Shape dought into 2-inch balls using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or scoop. Roll balls in the 3/4 cup sugar. Place 2 1/2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
