In my great tradition of stealing cookies (see my mom's sugared cookies) these were my second most favorite cookies to sneak. Nothing said Christmas at my grandma's house like these cookies - soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and their ginger spice deliciousness that I just couldn't resist.
•1/2 cup Spectrum Organic non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening
•1/4 cup unsalted butter
•1 cup brown sugar
•1/4 cup molasses
•2 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
•2 teaspoons soda
•1/4 teaspoon sea salt
•1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
•1 teaspoon cinnamon
•1 teaspoon ground ginger
Cream together shortening, butter, and brown sugar. Add eggs and molasses and stir to combine. In a separate bowl sift together flour, soda, salt, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger. Combine both mixtures and stir until you have a stiff dough. Roll into 1 1/4 inch balls. Dip tops into granulated sugar. Place sugared side up 3" apart on greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle tops with water. Bake 10 to 12 minutes in 350 degree oven. Do not overbake.
