Gingersnaps Recipe

	Gardener61 / All my dishes 1 year, 9 months ago From the What's Cookin' at Moody's Diner Cookbook. I make them quite a bit. My husband knows he's been a really good boy when I make him these! It has a long prep time because you have to roll into ball and roll them in sugar, but they are definately worth it!... More Prep:30m Cook:10m Servings:36	Gardener61

Ingredients

1/2 cup shortning

1/4 cup soft butter

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1/4 cup molasses

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon ground ginger ( I like alot of ginger so sometimes I add some grated crystallized ginger)

2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream shortning butter and sugar, then add egg and molasses. Mix well.

Sift dry ingredients and stir into batter.

Shape into small balls and roll in sugar.

Place on greased or parchment papered cookie sheet.

Bake 10-12 minutes, being careful no to overbake. Cookies are done when soft, puffy, and crackled looking.

Cool on rack (but you gotta try at least one fresh out of the oven!).
