Ginger Puffs (Kristi H)

Ginger Puffs (Soft Ginger Snaps)

Cream together the following:
3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup molasses

Then add the following sifted ingredients (I don't really sift anything):
2 cups flour
2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp cloves, ginger, and salt (1/2 tsp of each)
1 tsp cinnamon

Mix well. Form into balls and roll in sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375. Cook 10 min if you like crispy edges, 8 if you like everything soft.

I didn't put any icing on these, but I think they'd be great, and prettier, with some icing drizzled over the top.
