Cookie Jar Gingersnaps
3 to 4 dozen cookies
These are very good cookies. I love ginger so they made a nice treat for
me. This recipe was in the Taste of Home The Ultimate Cookie Collection and
it was submitted by Deb Handy of Pomona, Kansas.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Additional sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream the shortening and sugar. Beat in the egg and
molasses. Combine flour, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon and salt; gradually
add to creamed mixture. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into balls. Dip one
side of each ball into sugar; place with sugar side up on a greased baking
sheet. Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned and
crinkly. Remove to wire racks to cool.
