INSTRUCTIONS
Mix sugar and molasses into melted shortening. Add beaten egg. Sift dry
ingredients and mix in. Chill dough about 1 hour. Form into balls about the
size of a large walnut, roll in sugar.
Place balls on ungreased baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit
for 8-10 minutes. (Until set but not hard)
Balls will be puffy when you remove from oven. Drop cookie sheet on surface
so cookies fall. The cookies will crinkle and have a beautiful appearance.
Remove from sheet to cooling rack. Store in airtight container.
These use to disappear before they were cool when my kids were still at
home--so I usually doubled the batch and hoped there would be some left for
the freezer. Posted to TNT - Prodigy's Recipe Exchange Newsletter by
