In My Cookie Jar this week are Gingersnaps. These are great to have in the morning with coffee. Or in the afternoon with milk. Or, gosh, just about anytime.

Gingersnaps

1 cup sugar
1 egg
4 Tablespoons molasses
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon ginger

Mix shortening, sugar, egg and molasses well. Add remaining ingredients. make into balls the size of walnuts. Dip tops in sugar. Place on cookie sheet sugar side up. Bake 10 to 12 minutes in 350 degree oven.

Enjoy!
