Recipe by: Laine Anderson Preheat oven to 375. Grease cookie sheets. Cream together shortening and sugar. Add molasses and egg. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Roll dough into 3 cm balls and roll in sugar. Once they are on the cookie sheet, make an imprint in each with your thumb and add a bit more sugar in the thumbprint. Bake for 8-10 minutes. * I usually add a bit of mace along with the dry ingedients. ----
