Ingredients:
1 cup
packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup
shortening
1/4 cup molasses
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking
powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground
cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
red sugar crystals (cake
decorating decors)
Directions:
Preheat oven
to 300 degrees.
Cream together the sugars, shortening, molasses,
eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until
smooth. In another large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder,
ginger, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Add the dry mixture to the wet
mixture, stirring while you add it.
Roll a portion of the dough
out on a heavily floured surface. Roll to under 1/4-inch thick. Cut the
cookies with desired cookie cutters. Place cookies on an oiled cookie
sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes.
For best results, bake only
one cookie sheet of cookies at a time.
