Molasses Sugar Cookies

(another recipe from Mom I have never made)

Melt 3/4 cup shortening -- cool

Add shortening to 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup light molasses and 1 egg -- beat well.

Add 2 cup flour, 1/2 tsp each (ginger, cloves, salt), 2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon.

Chill -- shape into balls -- roll in powdered sugar

Bake on a lined sheet at 375 degrees fro 10 to 12 minutes

Note on Mom's card: This recipe is from Sandi Vincent who was a diabetic -- this was one of her special recipes.

I have to add -- it must have been hard to be a diabetic in the 70s -- because this isn't exactly a low carb/low sugar recipe.
