Preheat oven to 375u00b0F. Set aside 1/4 cup sugar for flattening the cookies later.

Cream shortening and remaining sugar on medium speed in a blender or by hand with a spoon. Add molasses, eggs, baking soda, salt and spices; mix on medium low or until well incorporated. Add flours and mix on medium low until no longer visible.
3
Shape into 1-inch balls or use a cookie scoop to form 1-inch balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Space cookies 2 inches apart.
4
Use the bottom of a clean cup to press lightly onto 1 ball to transfer a bit of grease to the bottom of the glass. Dip into reserved 1/4 cup sugar and then gently press into the cookies until they just become level. Repeat dipping in sugar and gently pressing into the cookies until all have been done.

Bake for 7-9 minutes. Cookies will be almost firm if touched lightly on the top.
