How to cook deliciously - Molasses Sugar Cookies

1 . Stage

Melt the shortening in a large pan on the stove, and cool.

2 . Stage

Add sugar, eggs, and molasses, beat well.

In a separate bowl, sift dry ingredients together and add to the pan. Mix well and chill 3 hours or overnight.

Form into walnut-size balls. Roll in granulated sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.

5 . Stage

Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes.
