I found this recipe in the local paper recently. I tried it when I needed to take something to my daughter's playgroup. The molasses at least adds a little iron and calcium :-) They are very crisp and keep well. Next time I might add more of the spices, especially ginger. Kathy Gingersnaps 1 1/2 c. shortening 2 c. sugar 2 eggs 1/2 c. molasses (I used a dark) 2 tsp soda 2 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp cloves 2 tsp ginger 4 c. flour Preheat oven to 375F. Mix ingredients in order given. Roll dough in small balls and roll in granulated sugar. Bake on greased cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes. Makes 8 1/2 doz. _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
