Rolled Ginger Cookies

Made by Jennifer Johnson
The girls LOVED these.  It may have to do with just how cute they are, don't ya think?

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup molasses
2 T vinegar
4 cups flour 
1 1/2 t soda
1/2 t salt
2-3 t ground ginger (I only used 1 t for my taste...)
1 t ground cinnamon
1 t ground cloves (I only put in 1/4 t)

Cream shortening and sugar.  Beat in egg, molasses, and vinegar.  Sift together dry ingredients;  blend in.  Chill 3 hours.

Roll dough 1/8" thick on lightly floured surface.  Cut in shapes.  Place 1 inch apart on greased cookie sheet.  


Bake at 375 for 5-6 minutes.  Makes about 5 dozen.
