Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shortening
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ginger
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
Method
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream shortening and sugar; add eggs and molasses, mixing well.
- Add dry ingredients and continue mixing. Dough should form a ball.
- Cover bowl with plastic and pop in the fridge for 20-30 minutes until dough is pliable.
- Form dough into 1-inch balls; roll in EXTRA white sugar (you CAN skip this step, but why would you want to?).
- Place on UNgreased cookie sheet, about two inches apart. They will spread out, so you don't need to press them down.
- Bake 12-13 minutes until top is crackly. Cool on rack, then store in covered container.
- During humid weather: store in tightly sealed container or they will get VERY limp and bedraggled.
