Ginger Sugar Cookies

aka San Andreas fault cookies because of the cracks in the top. My little sister Hillary coined this phrase when she was 3 or 4.

• ¾ cup shortening
• 1 cup sugar

cream thoroughly until fluffy, then add

• 1 egg
• ¼ cup molasses

blend

sift and fold in:

• 2 cups flour
• ¼ tsp salt
• 2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp ground cloves

refrigerate the dough 1 hour. Will keep in the fridge for a few days. As the caption in my McCall's circa 1954 cookbook says: The way to a husband's (or child's) heart is by having some refrigerator cookie dough on hand for that special treat. Or something like that.

A 1.5 inch scoop works best for portion control, otherwise roll into uniform balls, roll in large grain raw sugar, and place on ungreased cookie sheet. 350 degrees – 7-9 minutes depending on size of cookie.
