Cook The Book: Bacon Fat Spice Cookies

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350u00b0F. Lin 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, the salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in a food processor and pulse to mix. Add the bacon fat, molasses, and egg and pulse until the mixture forms a soft dough.

3. 3

   Take level tablespoons of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Using a fork, flatten the balls slightly, and sprinkle them with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
