Old-fashioned Chewy Double Ginger Cookies

Salvation is complete; it involves justification, sanctification, and glorification. By grace, through faith, God justifies believers in an instantaneous act. That is to say, Christ died for His people in order that the penalty for their sins might be paid and His righteousness might be counted to them. They are declared just before God when they believe. Once justified, Christ saves them from the power of their sins through the lifelong process of sanctification. In sanctification, Christians are made more and more like Jesus Christ. But a lifelong process never ends, and the final goal is never reached until death. At death, Christians are glorified; they are then made completely perfect for the first time.

INSTRUCTIONS

In large bowl, cream together shortening and one cup sugar until  light
and fluffy.  Beat in eggs one at a time; beat in molasses.  Stir
together flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cloves and cinnamon;  stir
into creamed mixture in three parts. Mix in crystallized ginger  until
smooth.  Remove dough from bowl and wrap in floured wax paper;
refrigerate  overnight.  (Dough will be quite soft.)  With lightly
floured hands, form dough into 1" (2.5 cm) balls; gently  roll in
sugar.  Place about 2" (5 cm) apart on greased baking sheets.  Bake at
350F (180C) for 10 - 12 minutes or just until set. Remove to  wire
racks to cool.  Makes about 6 dozen. I'm not much of a cookie baker
because it seems  so much effort for something that is gobbled down so
quickly, but  these are worth the trouble (I always set some aside for
myself, just  to be sure I'll get some). Guten Apetit!  ~- Nicole  From
