Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Decrease baking soda to 1 1/2 teaspoons. Bake 14 to 16 minutes.

  • Purchasing

    Purchase shortening formed in oblong packages marked for easy cutting and measuring. It eliminates messy measuring in cups.

  • How-To

    Spray the inside of the measuring cup with cooking spray so molasses will slide out of the cup easily.

Ingredients

  • 1  cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4  cup shortening
  • 1/4  cup molasses
  • 1  egg
  • 2 1/4  cups Gold Medal® all-purpose flour
  • 2  teaspoons baking soda
  • 1  teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1  teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2  teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4  teaspoon salt
  • 3  tablespoons granulated sugar

Directions

  1. 1Heat oven to 325°F. In large bowl, beat brown sugar, shortening, molasses and egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in remaining ingredients except granulated sugar.
  2. 2Shape dough by rounded tablespoonfuls into 1 1/2-inch balls. Dip tops into granulated sugar. On ungreased cookie sheet, place balls, sugared sides up, about 2 inches apart.
  3. 3Bake 13 to 16 minutes or just until set and cookies appear dry. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
