1/2 cup molasses

course or granulated sugar to coat cookie balls
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl stir together flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and 1/4 salt. I used all organic ingredients for spices too.
2. In a large bowl, beat shortening with a mixer on medium for 30 seconds. Gradually beat in 2 cups sugar until combined, scraping the bowl as needed. Beat in eggs and molasses. Beat in flour mixture.
3. Using a 1/4 measuring cup, shape dough into 2 inch balls and roll in sugar.
