Cookies

I'm not a huge cookie fan.  I never have been.  Growing up my mom made molasses cookies.  I did like those.  I still like those.  The other day I made a batch.  They have a lot of spices in them that seem to go with the fall.  

Here's the recipe.

3/4 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup molasses

1 egg

1 1/2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ginger

1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix together the first 4 ingredients.  Add flour, baking soda, salt and spices.  Chill dough for one hour.  Form into balls, roll in sugar and place on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 8-10 minutes.  

I have to say I'm never patient enough to chill the dough. I didn't do it on this batch and they turned out 

great.  I'm pretty sure I ate the whole batch.
