FAMOUS GINGERSNAPS Recipe By: Mary Beth Goodman INGREDIENTS & HOW TO makes about 4 doz. OK to double recipe, I normally do Cream together: 3/4 cup shortening 1 cup white sugar Add to above mixture: 1/3 cup dark molasses 1 egg, beaten Sift together and add to above, mix well: 2 cup flour 2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp EACH: cinnamon, cloves, ginger** ** - MB's secret: That would be a very generous teaspoon. One time I measured it and it came out to TWO tsp of each. So if you want them to be like mine - don't stint on your spices. This makes a slightly sticky dough. Roll into 1" balls, and roll in a bowl of white sugar (optional but nice) Place 2" apart on ungreased sheets. Bake 12-15 minutes at 350F. Watch carefully - they burn suddenly.
