Title: Grandma's Gingersnap Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Spices
Yield: 60 cookies

1/3 c Cinnamon sugar
2 c Sifted A-P flour
1 tb Ground ginger
2 ts Baking soda
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Salt
3/4 c Shortening or butter
1 c White sugar
1 lg Egg
1/4 c Dark molasses

Gather all ingredients.

Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

Place cinnamon sugar in a bowl; set aside.

Sift flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into
a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture until blended, then sift
a second time into another bowl.

Beat shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer
until creamy. Gradually beat in white sugar. Add egg and
molasses and beat until light and fluffy.

Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the shortening
mixture; stir to thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining
flour mixture and mix together until a soft dough forms.

Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll them with your
hands into 1" diameter balls.

Place balls in cinnamon sugar and roll to coat, then
place 2" apart on ungreased baking sheets.

Bake until tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about
10 minutes, switching racks halfway through. Cool
cookies on a wire rack.

Make 5 dozen cookies

Enjoy!

FROM THE EDITOR: The magazine version of this recipe
