Cookies ~ Gingersnaps


Gingersnaps


3 cups flour

2 tsp Baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1tsp cloves

2 tbsp ground ginger

1 ½ c shortening or bacon drippings (less if shortening)

2 eggs

½ cup molasses

Sift together the dry ingredients.

Cream shortening/bacon drippings, add the eggs, then molasses.

Add dry ingredients.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Drop onto cookie sheets, mark with a fork, cook for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven, let sit for 2 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack.

This also a good recipe to double, and put the extra in the freezer,

and slice off what is needed.

No need to mark with a fork, if you are cooking them out of the freezer.

Great if friends/family drop by for a visit!!!
