Servings: persons

1 cup Sugar
3/4 cups Crisco (vegetable Shortening)
1/4 cups Molasses
1 whole Egg
2 cups Flour
2-1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
1/2 teaspoons Ground Cloves
1/4 teaspoons Ground Cardamom
1/4 teaspoons Salt

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Mix sugar, shortening, molasses, and egg together until well combined. Dump in dry ingredients, stirring dry ingredients together lightly. Mix together until dough is combined.
3
In your hands roll dough into walnut-sized balls, then generously coat each ball with sugar. Place balls on a baking sheet and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, allowing to bake for about a minute after cookies begin to crack.
4
Remove cookies from baking sheet and allow to cool...though these are delicious while still warm.
5
Fun variation: drizzle melted white chocolate in decorative stripes over the top of each cookie. Allow to harden before serving. Or: dip half of each cookie in melted white chocolate. Yum.
6
Another fun variation: make sandwiches using two cookies and a scoop of cinnamon ice cream. Yikes.
7
Another really fun variation: eat all the cookies yourself, then hide all the evidence.
