Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees F).
- In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and 2 cups sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and molasses. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and ginger; stir into the sugar mixture until well blended. Mix in cinnamon chips. Dough will be stiff. Roll into walnut sized balls and roll each ball in remaining sugar. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until tops are crackled. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

NICE SPICE COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
- In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until mixture is creamy and light.
- Add the egg, a little at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the lemon zest.
- Add the sifted flour and spices and, using a wooden spoon, stir well until the mixture forms a stiff dough.
- Knead dough lightly in the bowl and, using your hands, shape the dough into 25 small balls.
- Place the balls on the greased baking sheets, leaving room between each to spread during baking.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the prongs of a fork dipped in flour. Press the fork in two directions to make a crisscross pattern.
- Bake for 10 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and let cool on a heatproof surface for five minutes. Then, with a spatula, transfer cookies to a cooling rack until cold.

REALLY NICE SPICE COOKIES
I used the Nice Spice Cookie recipe minus the lemon zest and I added almost 1/2 cup of Dark Brown Sugar which gave the cookies a very different flavor.
