Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
¼ cup light molasses
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground ginger
⅓ cup granulated sugar for decoration
¾ cup shortening

Steps:

Cream together shortening and sugar. Mix in molasses and egg. Stir in sifted flour, salt, soda, cinnamon, clove, and ginger. Dough will be soft and a little sticky.
Mold into walnut-sized balls, and roll in sugar. Place on greased cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 7 to 8 minutes. Baking them longer will make them less soft, but still chewy.
