Strangely, I don't remember these cookies much from growing up, but I now make them EVERY Christmas...even if no other baking gets done! This is Grandma Bunn's recipe for molassesy goodness. The recipe makes 5-6 dozen cookies, so get out all your cookie sheets for these ones!
Mix together:
1 c. soft shortening
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. molasses
Sift and stir in:
4 c. flour
4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. ginger
2 t. cloves
2 t. cinnamon
Roll into balls the size of walnuts and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Mmmm. Love these cookies!
