This is a family favorite and they taste great warm. When they're completely cooled it's also fun to decorate them with vanilla frosting and your favorite candy. Yum!
Stir together:
2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
Cream together:
1/2 c shortening
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c molasses
1 egg yolk
Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Blend well. Dough will be very stiff. Divide in half and roll out, cut desired shapes, and place on cookie sheet to bake. Sprinkle lightly with sugar to make the surface pretty (this is optional, especially if you plan to frost them). Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes. Don't over bake them!
