      Title: Grandma's Gingersnap Cookies
 Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Spices
      Yield: 60 cookies

    1/3 c  Cinnamon sugar
      2 c  A-P flour; sifted
      1 tb Ground ginger
      2 ts Baking soda
      1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Salt
    3/4 c  Shortening or butter
      1 c  White sugar
      1 lg Egg
    1/4 c  Dark molasses

  Gather all ingredients.

  Set the oven @ 350°F/175°C.

  Place cinnamon sugar in a bowl; set aside.

  Sift flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing
  bowl. Stir the mixture until blended, then sift a second time into
  another bowl.

  Beat shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer until
  creamy. Gradually beat in white sugar. Add egg and molasses and
  beat until light and fluffy.

  Sift 1/3 of the flour mixture into the shortening mixture; stir to
  thoroughly blend. Sift in the remaining flour mixture and mix
  together until a soft dough forms.

  Pinch off small amounts of dough and roll them with your hands into
  1" diameter balls.

  Place balls in cinnamon sugar and roll to coat, then place 2" apart
  on ungreased baking sheets.

  Bake until tops are rounded and slightly cracked, about 10 minutes,
  switching racks halfway through. Cool cookies on a wire rack.

  Enjoy!

  FROM THE EDITOR: The magazine version of this recipe uses 2 tb
  cinnamon mixed with 2 ts sugar to coat the cookies before baking.
