Molasses Cookies

How about a sign to flash back at your friends that reads, "My child is getting all of his trace minerals...is yours?" (Because I'm sure that trace minerals are good and I'm sure it is better if you get more - at least that how I felt when my friend praised her cookies because of their trace mineral content). But really, try these Molasses Cookies, they are great!

Molasses Cookies

1 1/2 c. nonhydrogenated shortening
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. blackstrap molasses
4 c. flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. salt

Crem together shortening and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and molasses. Sift together dry ingredients and add to wet ingredients. Roll dough into balls and flatten slightly with fingers. Roll in cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.

I'm so excited for this. I had some molasses cookies at a Halloween party at Addison's school and wanted the recipe, but didn't know who to track down!
