Steps:
- Melt shortening in a 3 or 4 quart saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat; let cool. Add sugar, molasses and egg; beat well.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Add to first mixture. Mix well. Chill at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Form in 1 inch balls, roll in granulated sugar and place on greased cookie sheets two inches apart. Bake in moderately hot oven, 375°F, 8 - 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven while they still look soft, because they flatten out as they cool.

GRANDMA'S CHEWY MOLASSES COOKIES
These chewy cookies are what you remember from your childhood....soft inside, a fragrant spicy aroma, and a crinkle-top that is crusted with sugar. The only change I made from my Grandma's recipe was to get rid of the artery-clogging shortening. These cookies hold up well for shipping - I mail them to my kids who are in college.

Steps:
- Using a strong mixer, mix butter and sugar until sugar has aerated the butter and it is light and fluffy (5 minutes). Blend in molasses and egg gently.
- While butter/sugar is mixing, blend all dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add to creamed mixture in thirds until fully blended (this is where the powerful mixer comes in handy!).
- Refrigerate 1 hour (which makes it easier to roll into balls).
- Form into balls a little smaller than a golf ball and roll in sugar. Place on parchment paper or greased sheet.
- Bake 350 degrees for 12-13 minutes (for 20 large cookies).
- Hint - When the cookies are done baking, they puff up in the center and crack, but wait until the inside of the crack turns from shiny dark brown (not cooked) to medium brown (done).

GRANDMA GOBLE'S MOLASSES COOKIES
These are not the usual cookie. This unique cookie is large, soft, and not too sweet but wonderfully spicy. They are great with a cup of tea or coffee. My husband's mother has had this recipe handed down for several generations. These are true old German/Dutch Molasses Cookies, circa 1850-1870s.

Steps:
- 1. Mix shortening and brown sugar with a mixer. Add molasses and mix. Set aside. Mix coffee, salt, and baking soda together and set aside. Mix spices with the flour, and then mix all ingredients together well.
- 2. Cover and refrigerate overnight in a 1 gallon freezer bag. (Dough also freezes well and can be used at a later date).
- 3. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Generously dust board with flour then roll out ½ to ¾ inches thick with a 2 ½ inch round cutter.
- 4. Place far apart on greased baking sheet. (I only get 8 on one baking sheet). Use two pans and do not put both pans in the oven at the same time. Bake on parchment paper lined cookie pan until when lightly touched, no finger imprint remains. Bake for 18-24 minutes (Do not overbake).
