Jenna's Ginger Cookies

List of ingredients:

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup molasses
1 egg
2 cups all purpose flour
1.5 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1.5 tsp ginger



Mix all the ingredients together.



Be sure to measure very accurately.



Wiping your hands on your pants is optional.
Mommy suggests wearing an apron but this is much faster.


Double check all ingredients.



My favourite part is plunging my hands into the mess and mixing well.  YUCK!  Don't worry if the dough seems dry...you can always add a 1/4 cup milk to the mixture if you are concerned.


Next form the dough into balls the size of bouncy balls.
Roll the little balls in sugar and place on cookie sheet.
Do NOT press!

Cook in a 350 oven for ten to twelve minutes.
The cookies will spread out and crack.



Voila...cookies are meant to be shared so please allow to cool and....

share with your favourite OLIVIA cat!!!


Enjoy with my compliments....love Jenna
